The Sonics are up d 42-36 with 8:36 left in the half.
Damien Wilkins shot the ball well during the opening quarter, finishing with 9 points on 4-of-4 shooting.
And Delonte West came in and put on a show in the second quarter. He’s got 14 points.
Luke Ridnour had to leave the game with 6:49 left in the first, suffering a bloody nose. It looks like he might have caught an elbow and was staggering coming off of the court. Ridnour won’t return, Sonics’ PR man Tom Savage has told us along press row.
Swift looked solid, but fatigued as Johan Petro subbed for him with about four minutes left.
Kevin Durant hit a jumper from the wing in his first NBA action, but otherwise seemed to be getting the jitters out.
Overall the team is playing OK. The defense could be better, particularly help defense on the weak side as Seattle is getting beat off the dribble. Carlesimo can’t be happy with giving up 33 points in the first quarter. And they haven’t been able to get out and run as much as they would like.
But overall the Sonics are beating Sacramento down the floor and look like the better conditioned team.
