Durant watch -- Durant shot 6-of-26 from the floor and finished with 19 points. He missed a chance to end the game in regulation and had trouble guarding Kobe Bryant early on. But he got some valuable experience at the end of the game

Did you see that? -- If you watched the game you saw a vintage Kobe Bryant performance tonight, with Bryant draining impossible shots from every place imaginable.

Overheard -- Luke Ridnour talks about how excited he is to be able to run the floor again here.

Final take -- A good game by Seattle but no victory. The Sonics did a nice job of speeding up the tempo, pushing the ball and attacking the basket. Once Seattle distorted the defense it created gaps for Nick Collison and Kurt Thomas to get into for rebounds and putbacks.

Durant struggled shooting the ball but created opportunities for his teammates by forcing the issue and driving to the basket.

Having Chris Wilcox and Ridnour back gave Seattle more energy in its rotation and Wilcox created more offense by running the floor.

But Seattle still has to put it together late in games to get wins. In particular, the free-throw shooting has to be better. You can’t finish games shooting 16-of-23 from the line.
