I am glad that you scored a lot of points in the fourth quarter. Good to see the Sonics can maintain their winning streaks. Goodluck on your next game.
SeattleTimes: It was tough it was brutal but the Sonics pulled through again and defeated the Pacers 87-84 in a tight defensive battle. Indiana led almost all the way till the 4th Qtr came and Lewis and Allen took over and outscored the pacers 26-21 in the 4th Qtr. "Well it was tough but we thought through and got this big win and we move to 3-0 on the year this should give us some huge confidence" Lewis said who scored 32 points.
Ray Allen chipped in with 23 points and Nazr Mohammed scored 17 and pulled down 6 rebounds. For the Pacers artest had a good scoring night scoring 17 points and of the bench Fred Jones contributed with 16 points. "We were confiedent all game we played hard and i thought that we were playing team basketball but to the end i dont think we did Rashard hit 3's so did Allen we just didnt fight at the perimiter and just let easy shots go in thats what lost us the game" Ron Artest said.

A good win against the Pacers, a close one though. Lewis really comes up big for the Sonics. I hope you can maintain your current winning streaks on your next game. Goodluck!
