He scored 31 points. He played more than 40 minutes. He hit 11 shots from the field, many of them immense. His thoughts?

"I'm disgusted," Ray Allen said.

He uttered those words in reference to the Sonics' fourth quarter, a forgettable, regrettable fiasco during which he watched a 13-point lead morph into a ghastly 101-93 defeat at KeyArena, courtesy of the Los Angeles Clippers and their sharpshooting guard, Sam Cassell.

"We just stopped playing," Allen said. "Plain and simple. Offensively, I don't know what to say. Defensively, the effort has to always be there. We let them have every little bucket in the fourth quarter. We were up. Double digits. It's disappointing."
