After Action Report
In Seattle, the Lakers buried the SuperSonics 109-76. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
