After Action Report

The SuperSonics blew the doors off the Kings 131-106. SuperSonics torched the Kings on the offensive end. SuperSonics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; SuperSonics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
