The unofficial box score from tonight's game and PopcornMachine's GameFlow.
Different night, different opponent, similar result. Unfortunately tonight's loss gives this Sonics team the dubious distinction of having the worst start in franchise history. Tonight was another example of the Sonics being competitive, but not having the ability to close it out at the end of the game.
It was good to see Kurt Thomas for the first time this season. He was effective in his debut, and I think will have some great contributions in the games to come. He, Wilcox and Collison combined for 38 points and 20 rebounds.
Jeff Green had a second consecutive game where he showed that he might have been worth that #5 pick. Green contributed 17 points on 5 of 10 shooting and 8 rebounds in 24 minutes.
