What a game. WHAT A GAME! Damien Wilkins had a career night scoring 41 points on 15-20 shooting, dominating in his homecoming. The Supersonics and the Hawks battled to a standstill for 57 minutes and 58 seconds, after Tyronn Lue hit a baseline layup to tie the game and presumably send the game to a 3rd overtime. But then came the moment we've been waiting for all season. Kevin. Durant. For. Three...SONICS WIN!
This night is going to be remembered as Durant's breakthrough shot, but it would have never happened without Wilkin's magnificent performance. He was scoring the entire game, but he was especially clutch in overtime, converting jumpers, showcasing a seldom-used post-game.
I don't have any thoughts, but the Sonics are 2-1 on the roadtrip, and broke out of a 0-8 slump with 2 straight in. Before the trip, I predicted the Sonics would win 2 of the 5 games, but they've already accomplished that goal. They'll have another great chance to grab a win against the Eastern Conference tomorrow against an uneven Charlotte team.
