In Seattle, the SuperSonics rolled past the Lakers 129-97. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
