Hornets 123, Sonics 93

I know, I know. Another squeeker. The score doesn’t indicate much in the way of progress, but last night’s game was actually pretty encouraging. Sure, that sounds a little ridiculous, and it’s as much a reflection of how bad things have been as anything else, but last night, we saw the team’s feted franchise player, Kevin Durant, play perhaps his best game. He played hard on defense, attacked the basket, rebounded, and passed. He finished with a stat line–20 points on 9-15 shooting, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists–that would’ve been a standard night’s work for Scottie Pippen in his prime. (For a while, he appeared to be threatening his first triple double.) This is Durant’s third 6-assist game in the last five. Keep up the good work, Durantula! And Earl Watson, whatever you had for breakfast, have it again on Friday before the Memphis game.

Go Sonics!
