Seattle Sonics Win Over Phoenix

Key Arena is where Phoenix was not looking. Seattle came from behind with Ray Allen and delivered a 116-114 win for the SuperSonics. The game was a close one all the way, but Ray Allen scored the winning three-pointer with less then 24 seconds on the clock. This was the Sun`s third loss in their last four games.

With under 30 seconds to play in the fourth, Earl Watson drove the lane before passing out to Allen, who was all alone in the left corner and the star guard nailed his attempt to seal the win for the SuperSonics. Chris Wilcox added 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting with 12 rebounds for Seattle, which won a season-best fourth straight game. Rashard Lewis donated 21 points in the win.

Raja Bell paced Phoenix with 23 points while Shawn Marion and Boris Diaw each netted 22 points in the Suns` third loss in their last four games. Diaw also grabbed 12 rebounds. Phoenix, though, still claimed its second straight Pacific Division title due to the Clippers loss to the Lakers on Sunday. It was the first time in team history the franchise has captured the division crown in consecutive seasons.
