After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics blew the doors off the Lakers 114-94. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
