After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the SuperSonics 96-94. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
