Ray Allen scored a career-high 54 points to lead Seattle to a 122-114 overtime win over the Utah Jazz on Friday night, snapping the SuperSonics' six-game losing streak.

Allen's performance was second-best in franchise history to Fred Brown's 58-point outburst against Golden State on March 23, 1974, and easily surpassed Allen's previous career-high of 47 versus Charlotte in 2002 while Allen was with Milwaukee.

And Seattle needed every point on this night.

"The circumstances -- us needing a win, going into overtime like we did, being down in the fourth quarter -- it looked like we were heading in that direction where we've been headed in many games up to this point," Allen said.

Allen was 17-for-32 from the field, 12-for-12 at the line and grabbed 10 rebounds.
