After Action Report

The SuperSonics edged the Kings 115-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the SuperSonics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
