After Action Report
The Lakers handled the SuperSonics 114-100. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The SuperSonics couldn't shake the cold spell; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
