After Action Report

The Kings outlasted the SuperSonics 95-83. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
