After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Lakers 115-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
