The game turned out to be entertaining. While the Sonics lead after the first quarter the Lakers were always just within striking distance, or atleast that is how it felt. The Sonics won the game with depth. Allen had his typical game and Lewis went off pouring in 37 points (7 treys). In all the Sonics had 4 players with double digit scoring efforts.
The most telling stat however was assists. At half time Kobe had 0. Not one assist. Watching the Lakers play it is very hard to believe that the person who dominates the ball as much as Kobe and scores 21 points at half also has zero assists. In the end the Sonics had 28 team assists lead by Luke with 11. The Lakers had 12 team assists. Yes one more assist as a team then Luke in his 23 minutes on the court.
Team Basketball is a beautiful thing. For all those of you who love the TEAM game I encourage you to watch the game Friday night. The Suns will be in town. With any luck the game will end with each team scoring in the 120's.
