After Action Report
In Seattle, the Lakers snuck past the SuperSonics 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
