After Action Report

The SuperSonics survived the Kings 98-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
