The Sonics can't play any better than this. They're shooting 81.8 (18-of-22) percent from the field against one of the best defensive teams in the league in Detroit.
Seattle leads 41-28 at the end of the first quarter, the most points the Sonics have scored in an opening quarter this season.
It's pretty much stunned silence and a smattering of boos from the Detroit faithful in The Palace, as the Pistons seemed to have been caught looking forward to a titanic match-up at Boston on Wednesday.
Who would have thought Earl Watson would outplay Chauncey Billup to open the game. Watson finished 5-of-6 in the first quarter for 12 points and three assist, causing one fan behind the Seattle beat reporters to utter, "Who is this guy."
Kevin Durant and Chris Wilcox each have eight points each. And Johan Petro has stepped up, with six points and seven rebounds.
Seattle can't keep this up, so it will be interesting to see what happens when Detroit starts to play, which you know will happen.
