After Action Report
The Lakers survived the SuperSonics 89-84. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
