i have been a sonics fan since forever so this is kind of sad for me ...
Standing at midcourt, hearing his home fans roar as they never have during his rookie season, Kevin Durant wore a giddy smile, lifting his arms and asking for more from the appreciative crowd.
“Save Our Sonics,” they replied in deafening unison.
If this was the end of the Seattle SuperSonics, they went out with a rare victory and feeling well loved.
“I almost cried, to be honest with you. People kept saying it might be the last game in Seattle,” Durant said. “It was phenomenal.”
Durant scored twice in the final 45 seconds, and the Sonics rallied from a six-point deficit in the final 3 minutes to beat the Dallas Mavericks 99-95 on Sunday night.
It was an impressive home finale for a Seattle team that might be playing in Oklahoma City next season and is putting the finishing touches on the worst record in franchise history.
The crowd cheered as much for the effort on the floor as the rare appearance of former star Gary Payton in the stands. The Sonics outhustled and outplayed the playoff-bound Mavericks giving their fans something to be proud of.
