BOX SCORE
SEATTLE (AP) _ Rashard Lewis scored four of his game-high 18 points in overtime to lead the Seattle SuperSonics to a 96-95 exhibition victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night. Seattle (2-0) led 95-92 late in overtime before Danny Manning hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2.3 seconds left to tie the game. After a timeout, Seattle rookie Desmond Howard took the inbounds pass, drove the lane and was fouled by Utah's Bryon Russell. He made the second of two free throws with 0.5 seconds left for the win. Rookie DeShawn Stevenson, Utah's first-round draft pick out of Washington Union High School in Fresno, Calif., sent the game into overtime tied at 84 with a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left in regulation. Seattle center Patrick Ewing missed a 10-footer in the key and Vin Baker missed the tip-in as time expired in regulation. Reserve guard Jacque Vaughn scored 10 of his team-high 18 points in the fourth quarter to keep the Jazz (0-2) in the game. Lewis, who also had a game-high 11 rebounds, scored 10 of his points in the third quarter for Seattle. Ewing, playing in his second game with Seattle after coming over in a trade from New York in the offseason, scored 13 points and had two rebounds and three blocks in 27 minutes. Gary Payton scored 16 points and had five assists for Seattle, which was just 25-for-44 from the free-throw line. Russell and Karl Malone scored 12 each for Utah.
