The Sonics nipped the Clippers last night despite Ray Allen sitting this one out.  Rashard Lewis stepped his game up with Allen out and he scored 31 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and dished out 5 assists.  Chris Wilcox (12 points, 13 rebounds) and Nick Collison (11 points, 10 rebounds) both played very well in the paint for the Sonics last night.

The Sonics improved to 23-35 on the season with this win.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270301025
