Allen Iverson 26pts Melo 38pts vs Sonics K.Durant 37pts 07/08 NBA

Description

Touted rookies Kevin Durant and Jeff Green both had career-best efforts for the Seattle SuperSonics and damaged the Denver Nuggets' postseason aspirations. Durant, the second- overall pick in last year's draft and the leading candidate for rookie of the year, scored a season-high 37 points and Green, the fifth pick, had a season-high 35 to lead the Sonics to a 151-147 double-overtime victory over Denver on Sunday night. "My teammates were making plays and I was just there finishing them," Green said. The loss kept the Nuggets (46-31) in a tie with Golden State for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Warriors lost to New Orleans, 108-96, earlier Sunday. "Career nights from two people," Denver's Allen Iverson said. "You have two 30-point scorers and other guys doing what they did out there, what can you say? They were the better team tonight." Green, whose previous high was 23 points, scored 24 in the second half and overtimes. His five quick points to start the second overtime gave the draft lottery-bound Sonics (18-59) the winning cushion. Durant was coming off his worst shooting night of the season, going 2-for-17 to finish with four points in a loss to Houston on Friday night. Carmelo Anthony, who scored 47 points Saturday in a 118-115 loss to Sacramento, led the Nuggets with 38 points. Iverson added 26 points and Kenyon Martin had 22. The loss was against a team that the Nuggets' had beaten three times this season by an average of 37 points <b>...</b>
