After Action Report

The SuperSonics snuck past the Lakers 115-114. The breakneck pace played right into SuperSonics' hands. The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
