After Action Report

In Sacramento, the SuperSonics edged the Kings 108-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
