After Action Report
The SuperSonics squeaked past the Lakers 127-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
