After Action Report

The Lakers outlasted the SuperSonics 121-115. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it
