After Action Report

The SuperSonics buried the Kings 104-84. The SuperSonics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The SuperSonics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The SuperSonics locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

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 · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
