After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the SuperSonics 129-111. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
