After Action Report
In Seattle, the Lakers demolished the SuperSonics 124-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
