A tough loss for the Supersonics after fighting so hard tonight.
The Sonics exposed the weak Lakers interior with the absence of Andrew Bynum who went out with a knee injury last night. Nick Collison was a beast tonight, leading the Sonics in both points (24) as well as rebounds (18). Pair that with Kurt Thomas' 16 points 9 rebounds, and Chris Wilcox's 12 points and 9 rebounds and you have 52 points 36 rebounds from the Sonics front line.
Kevin Durant added 19 points on 6 of 26 shooting. Luke Ridnour had 10 points and 11 assists. Earl Watson added 9 assists and a great strip of Kobe at the end of regulation. Wally Z provided some nice offense off the bench with 18 points, and Jeff Green added 14 points and 7 rebounds.
The unofficial box score from tonight's game.
