That was an ugly second quarter by Seattle, as they got outscored 36-23 by L.A.
Seattle's is getting beat down floor and struggling on the defensive end. In particular, Seattle is not getting out on L.A.'s perimeter shooters, and their interior defense has been slow to rotate.
The result is easy looks for the Lakers, and several offensive putbacks.
A prime example of Seattle's struggles on offense? The Sonics do not have a player in double figures. Kevin Durant and Wally Szczerbiak lead the team with eight points apiece. Durant actually had a nice offensive run where he helped cut the lead to 12 (57-45), before the Lakers went on a 7-2 run to finish the quarter.
We'll see how they come out in the second half.
