Chapter 445 The GOAT Controversy

The Supersonics stormed on unchallenged, and after the Hornets broke their undefeated streak, they surged into December with an eight-game winning streak, only to suffer their second defeat of the season when they went to Orlando to challenge the Magic.

That night, Howard harshly schooled Kwame Brown in the paint, furiously scoring 25 points and grabbing 22 rebounds, with Carter providing support from the perimeter with 34 points. The Magic's dazzling small-ball tactics stymied the Supersonics.

But that loss did not warrant much contemplation for the Supersonics.

The opponent was at home and on a hot streak.

It was a game they were meant to lose.

However, their next opponents were in for trouble.

Tasting defeat once again, the Supersonics arrived at the second away game of their Eastern Conference trip, facing the Charlotte Bobcats.
