After Action Report

The Kings survived the SuperSonics 92-88. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
