After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the SuperSonics 126-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
