After Action Report
The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Lakers 117-96. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The SuperSonics came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
