After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Kings 119-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
