GAME 14: SUPERSONICS 92, NETS 79
SuperSonics 92, Nets 79
Here's some notes that I was putting together after every quarter.
After one quarter, the Nets were building a mansion with all their bricks and the Sonics held them down, leading by a 21-8 margin. Jerome James hit his first three shots, and the Sonics were great on the glass.
At half, Sonics 48-27. Ray Allen only hitting two shots of nine from the field at half. Nets seeking to really slow the game down, but they're bricking like there's no tomorrow. Collison looked good with his playing time and had a couple of real nice moves that led to baskets. Ridnour also able to cut apart Nets multiple times on the pick-and-roll.
After three quarters, Sonics lead 63-51. The tables turn almost completely, as the Nets got within six by going straight to the rack, and the Sonics weren't covering the glass too well, settling for the perimeter jumpers, and not hitting any of said jumpers. Amazingly, they had only turned the ball over nine times through three quarters. Equally amazing was that Antonio Daniels (third-leading scorer on the team) had only taken two shots in three quarters of play. Rashard Lewis now able to flex shoulder, though has had it sprained. Sonics end quarter on 8-2 run, however.
POSTGAME: Sonics 92, Nets 79. A familiar sequence -- Sonics miss a shot, Danny Fortson grabs the rebound and puts it back for a basket. Danny had 20 points and 8 boards off the bench on a night where Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, and Antonio Daniels all didn't shoot that well, if at all (Daniels didn't have many shots).
PEEK AT THE BOXSCORE
starters: Ray Allen 19 pts/4 rebs/3 ast/3 stl (5-19 FG, 8-9 free throws, 5 turnovers), Reggie Evans 3 pts/11 rebs, Ridnour (8 pts and 5 ast) and Lewis (9 pts) combined 6-22 FG
bench: Danny Fortson 20 pts/8 rebs (6-7 FG, 8-9 free throws), Vlad Radmanovic 14 pts/6 rebs/2 stl (4 turnovers)...Daniels was only 1-for-5 from the field
Jerome James Watch: 6 pts/3 rebs (11 minutes)
team: outrebounded Nets 43-40, shot 39.5% from floor, had 23 second-chance pts
