After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the SuperSonics 102-99. Kings torched the SuperSonics on the offensive end. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; SuperSonics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. 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 · 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.
