After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics upended the Lakers 122-120. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
