After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the SuperSonics ran roughshod over the Lakers 145-92. SuperSonics' offense had its way with the Lakers. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
