Sonics/Mavs, mmm hmm

In a season with many notable highlights, from keeping their collective foot on the Suns' throat to asserting that it is also appropriately on the same Spurs body part, from Josh Howard's ascendance to the fact that every player has made marked improvements from last year, last night claims it's place amongst such highlights. After all, what does it say about your team when the 10th-11th guy on the bench can come on and put up 34, go 7 of 10 from beyond the arc and still pass up the 11th and 12th such shots when a lane to the basket opens up? And, oh yeah, throw in 7 boards.
