After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Lakers 96-86. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
