Game Notes

Last game before the Cavaliers head over to China. Back to back games, so expect players like LeBron and Ilgauskas to rest. This will be our first look at hyped swing man Kevin Durant and fellow rookie Jeff Green.

52-47 Sonics at half time.

It looks like Boobie is struggling, 1-4 shooting the three( 1-5 overall ), 4 fouls .

The positives :

Hes got 4 assists and one turnover ( traveling )

... Also Larry hit 2 long jumpers... =)

 

[DeeThree]

Slow start to the 3rd... as usual.

Larry 4-7
Shannon 3-5
