Sonics Hang Tough, Lose Again 105-98


Kyle Lowry hit a trey with 11 seconds left to lift Memphis to a 105-98 win over the Sonics on Wednesday night in Seattle.


The club is now 0-5, and the symptoms that befell them in their first four losses did again tonight, with some differences. In this game, Kevin Durant really looked like a rookie.


What sealed the deal for the Grizz is the third period. Down 57-49, Mike Miller and his crazy hair led Memphis on a 38-24 run. The Sonics hung tight in the final period but couldn't get the win.


Sonic of the game: Chris Wilcox with 21 points and eight boards. I watched the Maryland alum quite a bit when he was with the Clippers, and I like the way he plays. He also had a steal late in the game that gave the Sonics a chance.


Team grade: D This was kind of a must win, and it was disappointing they couldn't get it done at home. Memphis is not a great club, and the Sonics have to win at least a few of these if they expect to win 15 this year.


Next up: Utah, Friday. 0-6 is very likely, but this team has stil hung with every team it's faced so far, so why not get the first W of the year?
