After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings outlasted the SuperSonics 112-100. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
