After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings survived the SuperSonics 92-91. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
