After Action Report

The Lakers outlasted the SuperSonics 123-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
