GAME 4: SUPERSONICS 108, NUGGETS 88
I'd be a lot more encouraged about this win if I didn't know that the Nuggets are pretty much in a tailspin, and even more so after this game. The Sonics just handled a team that was supposed to be better than them, they did it on the road, and they beat them by twenty points. I didn't see the entire game, so I can't immediately discern Jerome James' "defensive presence" or if he got injured or just plain sucked (2 points, no rebounds, 1 block, 13 minutes). Notable lines from the boxscore were those of Ray Allen (30 pts/7 rebs/7 ast), Rashard Lewis (27 pts/7 rebs/3 stl), Reggie Evans (6 pts/14 rebs), Danny Fortson (6 pts/8 rebs), and Luke Ridnour (9 pts/11 ast).
