After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics handled the Lakers 126-108. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
