Sonics Spank Spurs, 113-94

Sonics forward Danny Fortson grabs the ball with gusto, damn you bet.
"Damn right I got the ball, bitch!"

Wow.

The Sonics cruised by the Spurs 113-94 last night. Yes, this is the same Sonics team that was picked by almost everyone to finish near the bottom of the NBA this season, that had their worst pre-season record in 20 years, and got waxed by the Clippers last week by 30 points.

Yes, those same Sonics shut down the perennial powerhouse Spurs by 19. The Supes looked good on both ends of the floor, shooting near 50 percent for the second game in a row, while holding Tim Duncan to 4-16 from the floor.

Danny Fortson had his best game as a Sonic, getting his first double-double of the year (15 points, 13 boards), and setting some bone-crushing picks on anyone dumb enough to get in his way.

Fortson wasn't the only Sonic on the hustle board. Jerome James got four blocks for the second game in a row, and I swear to god, I saw Ray Allen diving for a loose ball late in the fourth quarter with his team up by twenty.

I know it's early in the season, but... wow.

  1. Unbelievable. How one team can lose by 30 to the Clippers and turn around and beat the Spurs is incredible. Forgive me, Danny Fortson, for not acknowleding your magnificence.

  2. I still can't believe it...

    And who's acting as leader? Obviously someone, because the team has suddenly come together. Thing is, I just can't imagine any of the players we have at the moment really being strong leaders.
