After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics rolled past the Lakers 125-96. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
