When you allow a team to reach the century mark in the 3rd quarter, you aren't going to win a lot of games. Unless you're the 1979-80 San Antonio Spurs.
The Sonics did enough on offense to win tonight: Eight guys scored in double figures, led by Delonte West's 17.
But on defense...oy. Stromile Swift (the one Swift in the NBA who doesn't bring shame on his surname) put 24 on the Sonics, with putbacks, run-outs, and cuts through the lane. Swift's only had 20 points three times in the past three seasons. Make it four.
The Sonics five-game roadie is over, and 2-3 was probably about the best you could've hoped for.
They play next on Friday, at home, against New Jersey.

I was watching the game last night, and that defense was practically non-existent. They may as well have designated 1 or 2 full-time cherry pickers.
