Don Nelson tried almost every trick he had to slow down Ray Allen.

Big man, little man. Single coverage, double team. No matter what combination the Warriors tried, Allen had an answer. Until the final seconds.

Matt Barnes made a tiebreaking layup with 1:05 to go, extended the lead on a goaltending call and distracted Allen enough on a potential game-tying 3-pointer to preserve the Warriors' 108-104 victory over the SuperSonics on Saturday night.
