Seattle (15-22) at Golden State (17-19) 4:00 pm EST
OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The sputtering Golden State
Warriors are fortunate not to be facing Ray Allen when they
take on the Seattle SuperSonics on Monday.
The SuperSonics' leading scorer at 24.1 points per game, Allen
will be serving the final contest of a three-game suspension for
getting into a fight with Orlando's Keyon Dooling on Wednesday.
Seattle has lost five of its last six games, including both
during Allen's suspension. On Saturday, the Sonics were blown
out by the Los Angeles Clippers, 98-72, after making barely
one-third of their shots from the floor (27-of-79). Rashard
Lewis had 22 points to pace Seattle in the miserable effort.
Golden State also has struggled of late, dropping its last five
games, including three at The Arena in Oakland. On Saturday,
the Warriors lost a home contest to the Los Angeles Lakers,
110-104, despite 37 points from Jason Richardson.
The Warriors have won the last three meetings between the teams,
including a 110-107 overtime triumph in Seattle on December 13.
