— -- 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.
