At halftime, the SuperSonics reversed their previously weak performance against the Lakers, delivering a striking in-game performance to the world.
54 to 67
The home-standing Lakers lagged behind with a 13-point deficit.
"Last time they met, the SuperSonics were without both Brandon Roy and Chris Bosh, and even with Frye scoring 64 points, they couldn't win the game. But tonight, the return of Chris Bosh has completely changed the complexion of the battle. Does this suggest that Chris's role in Seattle isn't as marginal as we thought?"
On ESPN's live broadcast seat, Mike Breen tossed a professional question to his former pro partner.
Mark Jackson admitted, "Chris definitely had a greater impact tonight than Brandon did."
Jeff Van Gundy, as a former pro coach, possessed a broader perspective than Jackson.
