Former Whiteville High All-State basketball player Chris Wilcox connected on 10 of 14 field goal attempts to finish with 21 points, but his Seattle SuperSonics still lost their fourth game Sunday night, falling to the host Detroit Pistons 97-93. On Friday night in Cleveland, Wilcox was not in the starting lineup for the first time this season, but he came off the bench to score 20 points and haul in seven rebounds in a 106-84 loss to the Cavaliers.. On Wednesday in Chicago, he had one of his most least productive nights of the season with only four points as the Sonics fell to the Bulls 99-84. Seattle now 10-15, will try to break the dry spell of its current five-game road trip when it goes against the Memphis Grizzlies tonight.
