SEATTLE — With two starters sidelined and fresh from back-to-back losses, the visiting Sacramento Kings were supposed to be easy prey for the Seattle SuperSonics in their National Basketball Association (NBA) game at the Key Arena here Friday night.


But the highly-favored Sonics, coming off two wins in a row, never bargained for an explosive performance by 6-7, 185-pound third-year offguard Kevin (K-Mart) Martin who’s an early pick for the league’s Most Improved Player award this season.

Sonics coach Paul Westphal took a big risk in welcoming Ewing whose creaky knees sound like they’re ready to snap. He brought a medical case to Seattle and the fans never forgave him for it. After a 6-9 start, Westphal was gone. Too bad Ewing stayed–in the NBA, it’s easier to fire a coach than barnacle a player.
