After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers held off the SuperSonics 104-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
