Seattle trails Atlanta at the end of the first quarter 23-14. Bremerton native Marvin Williams leads Atlanta with eight points, and has really looked to score early on.
Seattle big man Johan Petro had two impressive blocks in the first quarter, including a block on Williams from behind on the break.
Chris Wilcox started his first game since coming back off the injury list. Carlesimo said he put Wilcox in the starting lineup to try to get him into more of a rhythm. Wilcox starting meant a return to the bench for Nick Collison, who averaged 11.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in his last 10 starts.
Robert Swift also practiced for the first time on Thursday since early November, and participated in shootaround this morning. Carlesimo said so far his surgically repaired right knee has been fine.
