After Action Report

In Seattle, the Lakers blew the doors off the SuperSonics 123-102. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
