Durant watch -- Durant made some big shots late in the quarter to keep Seattle close. He finished with 12 points and five rebounds, shooting 4-of-12 from the field. He seemed a bit tentative in his shot selection.

Did you see that? -- Jeff Green went baseline and reversed dunked over Richard Jefferson. It was one of several nice offensive moves for Green.

Overheard -- “This is really sloppy,” a fan from behind press row said after one of Seattle’s 13 turnovers in the first half.

Final take -- Another close finish, another tough loss for Seattle. Delonte West was still in his uniform when reporters were allowed to enter the locker room, but he went to shower when asked if he wanted to talk and said he would answer questions later. West was polite about it, but obviously took the loss hard.

It was tough because without West’s 10 points in the fourth quarter Seattle doesn’t have a chance to win. But he made a critical turnover with Seattle down three points, 95-92 and the Sonics having a chance to tie.

But that’s been how Seattle’s season has gone -- turnovers and critical mistakes with the game on the line keeps costing Seattle wins.
