After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics knocked off the Lakers 109-106. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
