Davis, Barnes help Warriors beat Sonics(AP)Updated: 2007-01-07 15:43 Baron Davis had 22 points, 11 assists and fed Matt Barnes for a tiebreaking layup that led the Golden State Warriors to their sixth straight home win, 108-104 over the Seattle SuperSonics on Saturday night.
Davis helped Golden State overcome 38 points from Ray Allen and 16 missed free throws to hand Seattle its 11th straight road loss. Allen's seventh 3-pointer tied the game at 103 with 2:13 to play. Both teams traded misses before Davis rebounded an errant 3-pointer from Monta Ellis, dribbled out from under the basket and fed Barnes for the go-ahead score with 1:05 to go. Damien Wilkins made one of two free throws for Seattle with 34 seconds to play before Nick Collison was called for goaltending on Barnes' drive to the basket to put Golden State up by three. Allen missed an off-balance 3-pointer at the other end and Mickael Pietrus hit one free throw to ice it. Ellis, who missed the previous five games with a bruised right shoulder, added 20 points for the Warriors. Andris Biedrins had 15 points and 16 rebounds, and Pietrus scored 16 points. Chris Wilcox scored 22 points for the Sonics, who were playing the second half of back-to-back games after losing at home to New York on Friday night. |
