After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Lakers 115-94. SuperSonics torched the Lakers on the offensive end. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 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.
