After Action Report
The SuperSonics demolished the Kings 140-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the SuperSonics cashed in. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. SuperSonics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
