After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the SuperSonics 106-101. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
