What's that I smell? Ah yes, its a V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!
The unofficial box score from tonight's game and PopcornMachine's GameFlow.
A much needed win for the Sonics. Some more tuning on the defensive end and keeping the offense we had tonight and the Sonics will be a tough match up for the rest of the league. We will need both as we enter a tough stretch of games over the next few weeks.
