After Action Report
In Seattle, the SuperSonics pulled away from the Lakers 112-102. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Lakers. The SuperSonics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
