Durant watch -- The Seattle rookie was scintillating tonight, finishing with a game-high 30 points on 11-of-20 shooting. Durant became the first rookie to score 30 points against the Knicks since Steve Francis accomplished the feat in 2000.

Did you see that? -- We’ll have to go with two play here. Durant’s dunk over New York’s David Lee to seal the win late in the game will probably make Sportscenter tonight. But Jeff Green’s block of Jamal Crawford was just as spectacular, and just as important because it persevered a one-point lead for Seattle midway through the fourth quarter.

Overheard -- Lots of oohs an aahs from the crowd as Durant put on a shooting clinic tonight. More chants of “Fire Isiah” at the end of the game as the Knicks lost their fourth straight. New York coach Isiah Thomas also was soundly booed during the opening introductions.

Final take -- A good team win for the Sonics after two game of mostly bad basketball. Point guard Earl Watson said it would be important for his team to respond after getting blown out by Chicago the night before, and the Sonics again showed some resiliency by escaping New York with a win.

Durant was impressive, but Jeff Green (17 points, five rebounds) and Kurt Thomas (nine points, eight rebounds) also had good games. Ridnour played within the flow of the offense and added another element to the game with his ability to penetrate and spread the floor.

Now, can they do it again? Seattle travels to Minnesota to play the T-Wolves on Friday in another winnable game for the Sonics.
