After Action Report
The Lakers knocked off the SuperSonics 117-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
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.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
