The Lakers outlasted the SuperSonics 112-102. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
