 SEATTLE (AP) - Chris Wilcox is different from most forwards around the NBA. For the Seattle SuperSonics, that's a good thing. Wilcox, at 6-foot-10, 235 pounds, may not have the strength or weight of other big forwards, but he makes up for it with speed and quickness. Wilcox flashed his way through middle of the Celtics' defense for a season-high 24 points Sunday night to help the Sonics to a 101-95 victory against road-weary and injury-depleted Boston.
Damien Wilkins added 20 points as the Sonics have won seven of their last eight home games. Ray Allen, Seattle's leading scorer, was 7-of-20 from the floor for just 15 points after having a season-low 14 in Friday's 101-82 loss to Minnesota. Allen, who averages 24.7 points, may be a little tired this week after the birth of his second son, Walker Allen.
Tony Allen had 23 points for the Celtics (10-19), losers of six straight. Al Jefferson had 21 points and 10 rebounds. It was his ninth double-double in December and 10th of the season.
