HIGHLIGHTS: A night for the reserves: Vladimir Radmanovic drained a pair of threes in the second quarter, and Earl Watson provided a considerable spark off the bench.


LOWLIGHTS: Given the intensity of the effort, none.


NUMBERS GAME: For anyone who has heard of Sean Marks, please stand up. The New Zealand native and California graduate went 7-for-9 and scored 15 points, compensating for Alonzo Mourning's absence.


MAGIC MILESTONE: Today marks the 10-year anniversary of Magic Johnson's announcement that he had contracted HIV. Sonics coach Nate McMillan was in Utah getting ready to play the Jazz at the time. "Back then you associated it with death," he said. "To know he had it, and who he was, and how close to the NBA family he was, it was just shocking."


BOOTH WOES: Sonics center Calvin Booth arrived with a reputation as a shot-blocker but has only one rejection this year. "The ankle sprain has slowed him down," McMillan said.


INJURY UPDATE: X-rays taken yesterday on Shammond Williams showed that his broken finger has not healed enough to allow him to join the Sonics on the road trip. Earliest return date now: Tuesday vs. Phoenix. Most likely return date: Nov. 16 vs. Golden State. ... Antonio Harvey did not suit up last night because of knee tendinitis.


GILL BREAKS FINGER: Heat swingman and former Sonic Kendall Gill fractured his left pinky in a scramble with Watson in OT and could miss 2-3 weeks.
