After Action Report

In Sacramento, the SuperSonics handled the Kings 110-96. SuperSonics torched the Kings on the offensive end. The SuperSonics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
