Kevin Durant pitched in with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The Supersonics are now 16-44 on the season.

The Supersonics shot 55% from the floor last night and that was the biggest reason for the win. Kevin Durant led the way for the Sonics with 25 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Chris Wilcox was outstanding near the basket as he finished with 18 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists. Earl Watson was solid in running the show as he finished up with 15 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. The Sonics are now 16-43 on the season.

Ira Newble only got to play in two games for the Sonics before they waved bye-bye to him. He averaged 8.5 minutes, 2.0 points and 0.5 assists per game for the Supersonics. He only shot 2 of 7 from the floor. The Sonics would rather give Newble’s playing time to younger players.

Kevin Durant and Jeff Green both have bright futures with the Sonics no matter where they are playing in the future. Still, Kevin Durant is a tad soft and he hasn’t shot the ball too well. Durant is shooting only 39.9% from the floor, 28.4% from three point range and 86.8% from the free throw line this season. He needs better shot selection to realize his potential. He has played in 56 games (all starts) this season and he is averaging 19.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steal per game. The Sonics expect more out of Durant in the future. Jeff Green is a much tougher player than Durant is. Green has played in 56 games (28 starts) this season and he is averaging 25.6 minutes, 9.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He is shooting 43.6% from the floor and 69.7% from the free throw line but those numbers could improve now that he has a starting job for the remainder of the season.

The Sonics were outscored 26-17 in the 4th quarter Friday Night and it did them in. Chris Wilcox led the way for the Supersonics with 30 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
