After Action Report
The SuperSonics held off the Lakers 104-96. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
