I made it to Milwaukee (barely). The Sonics trail 39-24 at the end of the first quarter.
The Sonics only trailed 20-18 midway through the first, but Milwaukee went on a 14-0 run with Charlie Villanuava leading the way. Villanuava started for rookie Yi Jianlian, who is out with a left ankle sprain, and has 15 points in the first half, including going 3-of-3 from beyond the arc.
Moe Williams (abdominal strain) also is not playing for Milwaukee. Starters for the Bucks are guards Royal Ivey (for Williams) and Michael Redd, forwards Villanuava and Desmond Mason, and Center Andrew Bogut.
Starters are the same for Seattle, Earl Watson and Kevin Durant at guards, Jeff Green and Chris Wilcox at forwards, and Johan Petro at center.
During pregame P.J. Carlesimo said he liked the minutes that Donyell Marshall gave the Sonics off the bench, particularly his ability to stretch the defense with the 3-pointer.
