Suns' Thomas refers to Oklahoma City as 'Sonics'
Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports
The memory of the Seattle Supersonics will always live on in the memories of the Seattle faithful, which includes Seattle native Phoenix Suns point guard Isaiah Thomas.
Prior to Sunday's game between the Suns and what is now the Oklahoma City Thunder, Thomas tweeted out the following:
Ok I'm done. It's gameday and I gotta get locked in we need this Win tonight vs the sonics!

The Supersonics were relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008, and were subsequently renamed as the Thunder. Prior to 2008, the Supersonics existed in Seattle since the franchise's inception in 1967.
