After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers outlasted the SuperSonics 101-88. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
