After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Lakers 124-86. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
