After Action Report
The Lakers downed the SuperSonics 121-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
