After Action Report

In Sacramento, the SuperSonics squeaked past the Kings 95-92. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the SuperSonics. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
