After Action Report
In Seattle, the Lakers outlasted the SuperSonics 111-93. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
