After Action Report

In a track meet, the Kings snuck past the SuperSonics 106-105. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
