After Action Report
The SuperSonics outlasted the Kings 126-112. SuperSonics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
