After beating the Denver Nuggets in double overtime and finally winning a game again, the Sonics will head to Dallas, to open their Texas triangle road trip against Dirk Nowitzki and his Dallas Mavericks.

Sonics rookies Kevin Durant and Jeff Green set a new record against the Nuggets, as they were the first ever rookie combo to score 72 points in a game. They'll now try to keep this up against the Mavs.

Discuss and Go Supes Go!

kd to green for the alley oop! and kc/johnson with a classic call.

not much interest out here tonight i guess........

keep up the great work on the game threads det.

if and when this team moves, i guess we can all just walk away. but until then, don't give up.

remember 96. down 3-0 to the bulls. did gp, kemp, det, hawk just give up? nope. even though they eventually lost, they played their hearts out and FORCED the bulls to play 2 more games and win it at home.

dont ever just give up. ever.

If I had known there was only one person on this thread I wuold have been over here. Go Sonics...Durant an ex Texas......make it a game...
