After Action Report
The SuperSonics demolished the Lakers 108-88. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
