Probably the most entertaining stretch of basketball I've seen so far this season. Seattle comes out strong and cuts the Lakers' lead to 69-65. Then Kobe just goes off, scoring the next 10 points for L.A. and pushing the lead back to double digits.
But give Seattle credit for hanging tough. Luke Ridnour has done a nice job of running the offense and Seattle remains within striking distance.
One thing that has been evident so far is Seattle has been willing to continue to grind during games, even when the get down by double digits. We'll see if that happens again tonight.

Just curios Eric, has there been any discussion how the Sonics plan to use Green/Durant down the road? It seems Wilcox may be the best player on this team right now a 2-3-4 combo of Durant Green and Weezy could be very solid.
Sene looked awesome. he was just strong and tough inside the post. at times he was the only Sonic post player who could or would be dominating on the inside. Luke looked great too. Jeff Greeen has lots of promise. so does Durant, of course, but he's got to grow into his body. he's do dpindly, almost frail.
I think PJ had better start preparing himself for Collison at Center with Sene backing him up (who would have thunk that Sene would have turned into a basketball player this quick?).
Our D was awful; made last years Sonics D look good by comparison. On the + side, Luke seems to be thriving in Westhead's system, & I suspect Green & Durant will both mature into nice players about the time the Sups get to OKC.....
