After Action Report
The Lakers edged the SuperSonics 117-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
