Maybe Seattle should look to play their home games at the United Centre. The Sonics won their 6th straight in Chicago, and have not lost since 98 when Michael Jordan scored 40 in red and white. Sparked by Rashard Lewis' 27 points and a huge third quarter from Flip Murray, Seattle used a 9-0 fourth quarter run to finally kill off the Bulls, who were booed off the court. The Sonics again relied on accurate perimeter shooting, nailing 13-27 from long range compared to 5-13 for Chicago, significant as both teams shot at a 47% clip. Murray lit it up in the third quarter, nailing 3 straight treys to give Seattle a 7 point lead and scoring 15 points overall in the period. He finished with 26, including 5-9 three pointers, and added 5 rebounds a 7 assists in an excellent all round display. Lewis bounced back from a poor display against Ron Artest and Indiana to add 5 boards and 3 dimes to his points total, and Vladimir Radmanovic scored 19, all in the first half. Brent Barry ran thew show with 6, 6 and 10 assists, while Calvin Booth, rejuvenated this season, had 9 and 8. For Chicago, it was an all round effort, with 6 players in double figures, underlined by Jalen Roses' 19. He added 7 caroms and 7 dimes, whilst Tyson Chandler had a double double with 15 and 11 off the pine. Down 3 after the first period, Seattle outscored the Bulls by 10 over the middle two quarters, setting up an even last to previal by 8. The firey nature of the game was summed up early in the second quarter, when Lonny Baxter flattened Antonio Daniels into the goalpost early in the second. Daniels got up awkwardly, iced both freethrows and tempers frayed slightly going into the locker rooms. The win means Seattle return home for a four game home streak, after going 3-1 on thier first roadtrip of the season.

He's a helluva nice guy, but he can hold his own.
