After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the SuperSonics 100-99. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
