After Action Report

The Lakers fended off the SuperSonics 100-94. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
