NEW YORK -- With one quarter left in Sunday's game I was all set to diss Danny (The Flagrant Vagrant) Fortson, Seattle's solo paint presence, for drawing a one-game suspension and sullying the Sonic boom.
But somehow Nate McMillian's minions exhumed themselves from a 16-point fourth quarter crater and beat the Grizzlies for their sixth consecutive victory after opening the season on a decisive downer.
There's no other way to say it; the Sonics, third in the league in scoring (103.6 ppg), are playing (Puget) Sound basketball.
