After Action Report
The SuperSonics buried the Lakers 118-92. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
