After Action Report

In Seattle, the SuperSonics outlasted the Kings 116-105. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
