Seattle SuperSonics Team Report - November 6

(Basketball News) - Ray Allen shot 10-of-16 for 25 points, leading the Seattle SuperSonics to a 106-85 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday in their home opener at KeyArena.

Rashard Lewis posted 23 points and Antonio Daniels added 12 to help Seattle to its seventh straight home-opening win. Reggie Evans collected 11 points and nine rebounds. Lewis also had half of his team’s 10 blocks for a new career high.

A driving lay-in by Lewis kicked off a 14-2 run over the last four-plus minutes of the third period that turned a three-point advantage into a comfortable 79-62 margin. Allen finished the quarter with a layup at the buzzer to make it 79-64, but Vladimir Radmanovic continued the rally with a three to open the fourth.

The Hawks couldn’t get back into it, as they were outscored 24-21 from that point on en route to the loss.

Seattle is of until Sunday when it hosts Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs. Last season, the Spurs swept the four contests between the two squads.
