TUESDAY, 3/8/05 – The Rockets headed into Seattle’s Key Arena Tuesday night, a place that hasn’t been very friendly to them over the years. They have only won 5-of-17 games at Key, and are 23-54 overall in Seattle. Facing one of the top teams in the West, the task wasn’t going to be easy. ClubYao’s Chia-Chi was in the arena for Tuesday’s game, and he will be filing his up close and personal report on Wednesday morning.
Well, at first it looked like it was going to be easy when the Rockets took a quick 6-0 lead, but the Sonics then went on a 28-6 run by outclassing the Rockets, getting to the hoop very easily and hitting uncontested three-pointers. It was “bombs away” for the Sonics, who hit their five treys in a row in the quarter and held a 16-point lead at one point.
