After Action Report
The Lakers handled the SuperSonics 106-90. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
