After falling behind by seven points early the Sonics battled back to tie the game at 24-all, but trailed by two at the end of the first.
Seattle seems to be rebounding the ball better, outrebounding the Cavs 16-12. Seattle also outscored the Cavs in the paint 14-10.
A matchup you probably don’t to want to see a lot of during the season – Wally Szczerbiak vs. LeBron James. Not that anybody can really slow LeBron down, but Wally is probably not going to be known as the LeBron Stopper. James had 12 points in the opening quarter.
Two former Kansas players also matched up when Nick Collison checked in and drew Drew Gooden on defense.
Even when the Sonics presumably a slower lineup with Szczerbiak and Kurt Thomas on the floor the Sonics still were able to get out and run. In particular, Mickael Gelabale did a nice job of running the floor, getting two easy buckets off of fast breaks.
Gelabale, Chris Wilcox and Nick Collison all have four points each for Seattle.
Jermaine Jackson, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Chris Wilcox and Johan Petro are on the floor for Seattle to begin the second quarter.
