"Nate broke the little board," Sonics all-star Ray Allen said. "It was startling to me at that stage. We had only scored six points, and I didn't realize it. ... Now, looking back at the game, that was the reason we lost. That was one of the worst quarters that we've played this year."

The Seattle SuperSonics have never performed so poorly in a quarter anytime in the franchise history.  Amazingly, Seattle were poised to come out with a win versus the Houston Rockets, terrible 3rd quarter and all before Tracy McGrady took over, scoring 11 points in the final six minutes securing a 97-95 Rocket victory.

The Sonics were led by Ray Allen?s 32 points, while Rashard Lewis scored 26, most of them coming in the first-half.
