Seattle trails 44-35 at the half. The Sonics are struggling offensively for the same reason they've had trouble scoring points during this five-game losing streak -- too many perimeter jump shots.
Seattle is settling for jumpers instead of driving hard to the basket and either scoring or getting fouled. And they're setting up offensively too far away from the basket, making it harder to get into the lane.
Seattle's emphasis on the perimeter jumper has steadily brought the team's shooting percentage down. And because Seattle doesn't push the ball anymore they're having trouble getting easy buckets.
If Seattle wants to be successful in the second half they have to get to the basket and have better player and ball movement.
