After a sluggish start, Seattle is finally looking like the team that won an NBA-best 63 games last season.
With Gary Payton scoring a season-high 28 points and Sam Perkins getting 20, the SuperSonics defeated the Indiana Pacers, 118-99, on Monday night in Tacoma, Wash.
After a 3-4 start that included a 27-point loss at the Boston Garden on Nov. 16, Seattle has won five out of six.
Reggie Miller led the Pacers with 20 points.
San Antonio 92, Minnesota 88--David Robinson scored 24 points as the Spurs withstood a fourth-quarter rally to defeat the Timberwolves in San Antonio.
