After Action Report
The SuperSonics downed the Lakers 111-99. SuperSonics torched the Lakers on the offensive end. SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
