After Action Report
In Seattle, the Lakers pulled away from the SuperSonics 114-104. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
