After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Lakers 122-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
