After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics snuck past the Lakers 111-108. Ugly basketball, but the SuperSonics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
