After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 117-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
