After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings buried the SuperSonics 125-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The SuperSonics are in a full-on tailspin; SuperSonics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

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