 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Don Nelson tried almost every trick he had to slow down Ray Allen. Big man, little man. Single coverage, double team. No matter what combination the Golden State Warriors tried, Allen had an answer. Until the final seconds.
Matt Barnes made a tiebreaking layup with 1:05 to go, extended the lead on a goaltending call and distracted Allen enough on a potential game-tying 3-pointer to preserve the Warriors' 108-104 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics on Saturday night.
"He's a great player and you saw what he did tonight. We were running double teams at him the whole time," Barnes said. "We had hands in his face. I was praying he didn't make that last shot. I was right in his face and he still got a good look at it."
