After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Lakers 106-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
