After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Lakers 125-104. SuperSonics torched the Lakers on the offensive end. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
