After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics pulled away from the Lakers 121-111. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. The Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
