After Action Report
The Lakers edged the SuperSonics 104-98. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
