It's 52-all here at halftime.
The Sonics made a nice run late to get back into it. Things didn't look good midway through the quarter. The Clippers went on a 15-3 run to take a 48-38 lead with about four minutes left.

Chris Wilcox made things worse when he received a technical foul for arguing a non-call.

But Wilcox made up for it by scoring the next five points. Wilcox is Seattle's leading scorer with 15 points at halftime. Kevin Durant's filling up the stat sheet with 10 points, six rebounds and four assists. And Jeff Green is playing the good so far, with 12 points.
Damien Wilkins contributed nine points, including a leaning jumper late to tie the game.

If Seattle can make a spurt early in the third and get control they could come away with their first win of the year.

The Lakers and Jazz will play here later tonight, which is the reason the Clippers and Seattle are playing at 12:30 p.m. I was talking to one of the Clippers official scorekeepers, and he said the staff here makes the turnaround from Clippers floor to Lakers floor or LA Kings hockey ice rink in an hour and a half.
