Another bad performance by the Sonics as they struggle to find some consistency.
The Rockets led by as many as 38 points in the fourth quarter, and inside with Yao Ming, Luis Scola and Shane Battier Houston dominated the middle.
Coach P.J. Carlesimo played 13 guys, and I don't think you're going to see that on Tuesday against Golden State. The Sonics really need to decide on a starting lineup and start to establish some consistency early in games.
Listen to what Carlesimo had to say after the game here.
Delonte West played well off the bench, finishing with 22 points and seven assists. I think Delonte will probably be one of the main guys coming off the bench. He seems OK with the role, and does a nice job of getting into the flow of the game.
West talked about his performance here.
Durant continues to show that he can score, finishing with 25 points on 9-of-20 shooting.
But overall the team struggled again defensively. Houston shot up the zone, going 11-for-27 from the 3-point line.
