The Sonics? superstar guard, Ray Allen, made his return to the Sonic?s lineup last night after missing two games with the flu, which morphed into some kind of viral illness.

"I'm glad it's over with," he said following Seattle's 113-99 victory last night over the expansion Charlotte Bobcats in front of 16,901 at KeyArena. "Being here, in the locker room with my team, this is what I do, who I am and where I belong. And I wouldn't have it any other way."

Allen finished with a game-high 25 points, 14 coming in the first quarter.
