SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The Seattle SuperSonics try to build on themomentum of their first home win of the season when they hostthe Golden State Warriors on Sunday.


The Sonics, winless in their first seven games at home thisseason, finally broke through on Friday. Rookie Kevin Durantscored 13 of his career-high 35 points in the final 4:45 of thefourth quarter, as Seattle snapped a six-game losing streak witha 95-93 victory over the Indiana Pacers.


Durant, who lost just 10 times during his lone season at theUniversity of Texas last season, continues to impress, averaging20.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in just over 34 minutes a contest.

If the Sonics are to win their second home game of the season,they have to try and stop a Warriors team that has wonfive-consecutive games.


Baron Davis scored 27 points and added eight assists as theWarriors extended their winning streak with a 113-94 victoryover the Houston Rockets on Thursday.


Davis said in September that he would opt out of his currentcontract at the end of the season if Golden State didn't signhim to a long-term deal. The 28-year-old guard is making astrong case for a new contract, averaging a team-high 24.2points and 8.5 assists.
