After a sluggish start, Seattle is finally looking like the team that won an NBA-best 63 games last season.

With Gary Payton scoring a season-high 28 points and Sam Perkins getting 20, the SuperSonics defeated the Indiana Pacers, 118-99, on Monday night in Tacoma, Wash.

After a 3-4 start that included a 27-point loss at the Boston Garden on Nov. 16, Seattle has won five out of six.
