After Action Report
The SuperSonics held off the Lakers 92-86. Every possession went the SuperSonics way. The SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
