After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the SuperSonics 93-87. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
