After Action Report

The Lakers survived the SuperSonics 116-111. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
