After Action Report
The SuperSonics snuck past the Lakers 115-111. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Lakers. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
