After Action Report

In Sacramento, the SuperSonics snuck past the Kings 120-118. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The SuperSonics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
