After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics outlasted the Kings 121-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
