After Action Report

The SuperSonics fended off the Kings 94-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. SuperSonics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

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.
