Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game

That's what the Sonics seem to be saying with their actions in the first quarter.

Seattle took control of the game early, leading 22-12 midway through the first, and now hold a 30-25 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

Dwyane Wade entered the game at the 4:52 mark of the first to a standing ovation. But he hasn't done a whole lot as he tries to get a feel for being out on the floor.

P.J. just blew up and earned his second technical of the season early in the second after Kevin Durant went strong the basket for a dunk and got hammered, but got no call.

It seemed like a pretty blatant foul from where we're sitting on press row.

P.J. was furious, and the ref closest to the action said it was his fault. I think maybe he was saying he didn't see the play.

But the non-call is pretty typical as Durant is not getting a whole lot of respect from the officials as a rookie.

The replay showed plenty of body contact as well Durant being hit on the arm on that non-call.

Wade made a huge difference in the game. Easy to see why he is one of the top few players in the league.

In any case, great win for the Sonics! Durant seemed to get rolling in the second half.
