After Action Report
The SuperSonics took care of the Lakers 118-103. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' positional balance gave them a synergy edge.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
