Sonics Set To Take On Spurs With Or Without McMillan And Allen

The Seattle SuperSonics will host the San Antonio Spurs at 7 p.m. PST at the Key Arena, looking to make it three wins in a row over the NBA powerhouse, howerver they may have to do it minus a few important men.

Coach Nate McMillan is currently in North Carolina visiting his seriously ill mother while Ray Allen is nursing a case of the flu.

Nobody is sure if one or any of the two will show up for tonights showdown with the Spurs.

“We’ve got our work cut out for us,” Sonics associate head coach Dwane Casey said. “That’s why we have to come in with our high beams on and our focus has to be totally on San Antonio regardless if Coach Mac is back or Ray is here.”

The Sonics are responsible for the Spurs only home loss of the season.

Jazz Beginning To Settle In With Lopez Running The Point

Raul Lopez is beginning to settle in as the point guard for Jerry Sloan's Utah Jazz. On Wednesday, he had a career-high 11 assists and matched his best scoring total with 20 points.

``We don't have to think about who scored more points. We won the game and that's what matters,'' said Lopez, who was making his sixth start of the season. ``We have a lot of games where people scored a lot of points and we lost.''
