After Action Report

The Lakers demolished the SuperSonics 119-84. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
