After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the SuperSonics 136-95. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
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.
- 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.
