Allen, who made 3-of-9 shots from beyond the arc, tied Dale Ellis for second on the all-time list for three-pointers made with 1,719. Chris Wilcox finished with 26 points and a career-high 24 rebounds, while Luke Ridnour and Rashard Lewis scored 10 apiece.

Seattle is 11-25 on the road this season.

Voshon Lenard registered 14 points in the win over Houston for Portland, which snapped a season-worst 11-game losing streak. Juan Dixon and Sebastian Telfair both had 13 points in the victory.

Portland is 15-22 at home this season.
