For the Kings, Kevin Martin (11-of-19) had 31 points, Ron Artest (12-of-23) had 29 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks, and Francisco Garcia (8-of-14) had 21 points and 5 rebounds. For the Sonics, Kevin Durant (10-of-18) had 25 points, Jeff Green (9-of-16) had 21 (but a few too many turnovers), Earl Watson (9-of-15) had 20 points and 12 assists, and Damien Wilkins (7-of-15) had 18.  The Kings shot 55.1% from the field, and had 28-of-32 free throws, compared to just 11-of-15 free throws for the Sonics.

The AP reports:  Jason Richardson finished with two free throws with 5 seconds remaining to seal the win. Luke Ridnour’s layin at the buzzer provided the final margin. Richardson finished with 27 points, Raymond Felton had 21 and Emeka Okafor had 19… Kevin Durant, who had scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games, lead the Sonics with 18 points. Earl Watson had 16.

The AP reports: Reserve Roger Mason pumped in five 3-pointers in the fourth quarter in leading the Washington Wizards to a 104-99 victory over the Seattle Supersonics on Wednesday night. Mason, averaging 8.6 points coming in, finished with 22 points. He matched his career high with six 3-pointers. Caron Butler had 21 points; he’s averaging 27.8 points in his last seven games against the Sonics. Kevin Durant scored 32 points for the Sonics. Damien Wilkins and Jeff Green each contributed 13 points, while Nick Collison matched his career high with 21 rebounds.

The AP reports: Kevin Durant scored 23 points and the SuperSonics snapped their 11-game losing streak with a 97-84 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night… Damien Wilkins added 20 points off the bench, and Jeff Green continued his improved play late in his rookie season with 16 points. Martell Webster led Portland with 22 points, but 15 came in the first quarter when the Seattle native hit four 3-pointers. Another Seattle native, All-Star Brandon Roy, struggled all night, looking fatigued and leaving a number of shots short. Roy made just five of 17 attempts and finished with 11 points… The Sonics took control in the third quarter, which coincided with Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge leaving with a mild right ankle sprain.

Sonics General Manager Sam Presti announced today that the team has signed Eddie Gill to a 10-day contract.
 
The 6-0 guard appeared in 13 games, including one start, with the New Jersey Nets earlier this season.  Gill has played in 32 games for the Colorado 14ers in the NBA Development League this year, averaging 18.8 points, 8.4 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.25 steals per game.
 
Gill has appeared in a total of 180 NBA games over six seasons, averaging 3.1 points per game during that span.

The Seattle SuperSonics have recalled Mouhamed Sene from the Idaho Stampede D-League team.
He’s probably still just very tall and undeveloped as a player, though. But he can dunk in pre-game warmups, and that’s a plus.

We at InsideHoops get lots of fan mail. Sometimes it’s people helping out with the depth charts, or reminding us to please update a feature. Questions about the league. Opinions about this and that. And then, of course, each day there are emails sent to me from hundreds of beautiful women, asking me to date them, telling me how they love my combination of good looks, fame and amazing lifestyle of travel, sports and fun. This is all expected.
Yet, no one has ever gotten in touch with us about saving the Sonics. Ever. What’s up with that? Just yesterday I got about five emails from some Hawks fans. And two from Clippers fans. Hawks and Clippers fans! Several of them! Yet, nothing about the Sonics or keeping them in Seattle. Who runs the ‘Save the Sonics’ movement? I know one movement is run by a dude named Brian. Never heard from him, though. Are there any other such movements out there? Grassroots stuff. If so, go to the insidehoops.com message board and post about it. Or, if it’s actually big and worthy of attention, email it to me. Go to InsideHoops.com and click ‘contact us’ and you’ll see what to do.

Sonics General Manager Sam Presti announced today the team has re-signed guard Mike Wilks to a second 10-day contract.
Wilks for his career averages 2.5 points and 1.2 assists in 9.5 minutes per game. This season he played just one game for the Sonics and scored 2 points.
