Minnesota was within eight points early in the third quarter, but the Sonics used a 12-2 spurt to take an 18-point lead. Ray Allen had five points during the burst, and Reggie Evans capped it with a bucket around the 7:00 mark to give Seattle its 75-57 lead.
The Sonics later went ahead by 22 before carrying an 89-69 lead into the fourth. Minnesota was never closer than the final margin.
