The Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Gary Washburn) reports:
According to a team source, the Sonics players were supposed to
walk out of the tunnel after Friday’s game, where signed shoes
were supposed to be waiting for them. Apparently, they weren’t,
leading to mass confusion and finger-pointing between the Sonics
marketing team, the game operations staff and the front office,
who had to scramble to get players onto the floor.
