Not the prettiest game tonight, but definitely something the team will learn from.
The interior defense inside was bad, and made worse by the guards not rotating to help the bigs when they slid over to stop penetration.
Defensively Seattle did not do a good job getting back on on transiton, and for the first time during the preseason Seattle was outscored 24-22 in fastbreak points.
Los Angeles shot 56 percent from the field, 7-of-12 from the 3-point line and 27-35 from the free throw line.
L.A. scored 50 points inside the paint.
Overall, it was not a memorable performance for Seattle, but it may be a sign that we'll see a shortening of the rotation as PJ starts to figure out what guys he wants to go with.
On the positive side, Luke did a nice job of running the offense the second half. Wally again proved he can provide instant offense.
Wilcox is becoming the best scoring option inside and looks ready to take the next step.
And both Kevin Durant and Jeff Green showed glimpses of brilliance followed by young mistakes.
We'll see how they follow up tonight's performance on Saturday.
I'm having trouble posting audio, so I'll have clips from PJ and Wilcox up tomorrow.
I hope you got a chance to watch the game tonight.
