After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings downed the SuperSonics 117-98. Kings torched the SuperSonics on the offensive end. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
