After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics downed the Lakers 101-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
