After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Kings 118-92. The SuperSonics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings are in a full-on tailspin. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
