Seattle Supersonics! A nice win tonight over the Minnesota Timberpups. Anyone else think Al Jefferson looks like a human bobble head? I thought my head was big.
Kurt Thomas was outstanding tonight, especially in the second half. He always seemed to be hitting the top of the key jumper at exactly the right moment. He was money on that shot all night long. Thomas went for 18 points and 8 rebounds.
Chris Wilcox also had a very strong game with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Wilcox made some nice moves on a couple of broken plays for some solid effort baskets.
Kevin Durant had a tough night scoring 13 points on 4 of 17 shooting, and committing 8 turnovers. Wally Szczerbiak also struggled against his former team shooting 1 for 9. Wally looked like he was pressing, but in true shooter form he always thought the next one was going in.
Al Jefferson continued to be a beast in the paint with 22 points and 16 rebounds. Interestingly the Wolves were -18 while Jefferson was on the floor. Rashard McCants looks to be fully healthy and regaining all of his athleticism he was drafted for.
The unofficial box score from tonight's game.
