After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the SuperSonics 116-100. Lakers torched the SuperSonics on the offensive end. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
