After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the SuperSonics 116-106. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
