After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics handled the Kings 109-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. The SuperSonics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
