After Action Report

The Lakers fended off the SuperSonics 123-117. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
