After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics rolled past the Lakers 128-83. SuperSonics torched the Lakers on the offensive end. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
