After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Lakers 133-119. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Lakers. The SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
