Pippen didn't make a field goal and finished with only two points, but collected 10 boards and nine assists.

| (MySportsbook) - Any hopes of the Seattle SuperSonics vying for a playoff spot were all but squashed over the past week. The Sonics have lost four straight games to fall seven games below .500 and dip well below a competitive postseason race.
