After Action Report

The SuperSonics outlasted the Lakers 116-106. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. The SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
