After Action Report
The SuperSonics took care of the Lakers 103-85. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
