After Action Report
The SuperSonics demolished the Lakers 117-73. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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. Never a doubt in this one.
