After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics pulled away from the Lakers 113-97. SuperSonics torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
