After Action Report
The Lakers upended the SuperSonics 112-106. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
