A pretty scrappy first quarter for both teams, as the Kings and the Sonics look like two teams who do not have a win this year, and want desperately to get one tonight.
Sacrament leads 26-25 behind 10 points from Kevin Martin. Execution still poor. Five turnover already, against a bad team. Martin is a nice player. He’s got a funky jumper. He kind flings it up there, but it goes in with regularity.
But I think Kevin Durant is the best player on the court right now, and hopefully he realizes it. Durant has seven points, leading the Sonics in scoring.
Luke Ridnour came in midway through the first quarter and has played solid. Ridnour has four points, on two mid-range jumpers, and an assist.
Kevin Calabro wore shades for his opening game with Marques Johnson. One of the referees came over and said he thought he was in L.A. and Calabro was Jack Nicholson.
