After Action Report
In a track meet, the SuperSonics downed the Lakers 113-103. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
