(Basketball News) - The Seattle SuperSonics unlikely push towards the postseason took a hit on Saturday, as their season-high seven-game winning streak came to a screeching halt with a 115-108 overtime loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Ray Allen scored a game-high 32 points with nine rebounds for the SuperSonics, who are four games adrift of the final playoff spot in the West. Rashard Lewis added 24 points in the loss, and Ronald Murray scored 19 off the bench.
Seattle’s loss was its first on the road in five games and it slipped to 15-21 away from home this season.
On the injury front, guard Brent Barry played despite injuring his hip in Friday’s victory over the Denver Nuggets. However, center Jerome James continues to be troubled with an abdominal strain and is listed as day-to-day.
Seattle will continue its three-game road trip in Denver on Tuesday.
