The SuperSonics snuck past the Kings 113-112. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
