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.

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.
