Seattle SuperSonics Team Report - November 30

(Basketball News) - Rashard Lewis scored 27 points and hauled in nine rebounds to lead Seattle over Houston, 95-88, at KeyArena on Saturday.

Antonio Daniels added 13 points for the SuperSonics, who snapped a two-game skid.

Houston led 71-70 after three quarters, but only made four field goals in the final frame to walk off the court on the losing side.

The SuperSonics tallied the first five points of the fourth and they led the rest of the way. Luke Ridnour nailed a three-pointer and Jerome James scored on a dunk to account for the burst and put Seattle ahead, 75-71, with 10:54 to play.

Seattle increased its lead to 10, but the Rockets made a late run to get back into the game, only to fail to get over the hump. A 9-2 Houston burst pulled the Rockets to within 91-87 after a Maurice Taylor bucket with 1:50 to play.

After a defensive stop by the Rockets on the ensuing possession, Taylor had a chance to trim the deficit to two after being fouled, but he missed a pair from the stripe and the Rockets never got any closer.

Seattle is off until Wednesday when it hosts the New York Knicks.
