Wally Szczerbiak pretty much put the Sonics on his back and carried them during the second quarter.
He scored 18 points in the second quarter -- 10 straight at one point -- hitting jumpers from all spots on the floor.
Seattle led by as many as 20 points, but after three straight turnovers late in the first half Seattle let the Kings back into it.
P.J. Carlesimo called a timeout with 40 seconds left and exploded on the team, dressing them down because of the turnovers.
Seattle's finished the half ahead 61-48, but should be up by more.
The Sonics actually have an advantage in experience against the Kings, with Ron Artest and Mike Bibby out.
But Seattle still turned the ball over 14 times in the first half, which resulted in 18 points for Sacramento.
However, Seattle is shooting 63.2 percent from the field, including 6-of-9 from the 3-point arc.
