After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the SuperSonics 85-81. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings sent shots into the fifth row all night; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
