*Biedrins, red-hot Warriors rout Durant, Sonics*
SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The Golden State Warriors have something in common with the scoreboard atop decaying Key Arena - they are on fire.
Andris Biedrins collected 18 points and 16 rebounds as the Warriors continued their torrid stretch with an easy 109-96 rout of the Seattle SuperSonics on Sunday night.
Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington scored 20 points apiece for Golden State, which has won six in a row and nine of its last 10 games.
The Warriors also have won eight of their nine contests since Jackson returned from his season-opening, six-game suspension for brandishing a gun outside of an Indianapolis strip club last year.
There was never a doubt in this one for the Warriors, who were in control the entire way - leading by as many as 27 points on Harrington's 3-pointer with 8:52 left in the fourth quarter.
It was such a laugher that the most interesting part of the contest came with Golden State ahead 17-8 with seven minutes left in the opening period. The game was delayed for approximately 10 minutes when the scoreboard caught fire.
With smoke billowing from one of the spotlights, fire personnel lowered it to the court and quickly extinguished the flames.
One of the older arenas in the NBA, Key Arena has been a sticking point in negotiations between the Sonics and the city of Seattle to keep the team in the Pacific Northwest. Sonics' ownership refuses to stay if a new arena is not built.
No injuries were reported, and the game resumed after a four-minute warmup period.
That was not a good thing for the Sonics and rookie phenom Kevin Durant, who scored just six points on 2-of-12 shooting. It was the first contest that he did not notch double figures in scoring through 18 games in his young career.
Golden State, which had six double-figure scorers, also was led by Baron Davis, who nearly posted a triple-double - collecting 14 points, eight rebounds and nine assists.
Monta Ellis scored 18 points and Kelenna Azubuike added 14 for the Warriors.
Chris Wilcox and Earl Watson netted 16 points apiece for Seattle, which has lost seven of its last eight games.
