Which is nothing new on this trip. But the Sonics actually played OK the last four minutes and considering how bad they played early, are within striking distance at 45-33 at the half.
Seattle's shooting woes continue, as the Sonics shot 16-of-42 (38 percent) from the floor in the first half. But the Durant-James battle is shaping up.
Seattle rookie Kevin Durant has 12 points and five rebounds in the first half, shooting 6-of-13 from the floor. While LeBron finished with 14 points and five rebounds in the first half, on 7-of-10 shooting from the field.
Seattle simply must execute better offensively, and get some easy buckets by crashing the boards or getting out in transition. The Sonics have already turned the ball over 11 times, resulting in 15 points for Cleveland. And Seattle only has nine fastbreak points.
