Allen’s 30 help Seattle knock out Sacramento

? Ray Allen didn’t have to do everything himself, and his team is heading into the second round of the NBA playoffs.

Allen scored 30 points, and Rashard Lewis added 10 of his 24 in the fourth quarter, leading the Seattle SuperSonics to a 122-118 victory Tuesday over the Sacramento Kings.

The Sonics eliminated the Kings, 4-1, and advanced in the playoffs for the first time since 1998. They’ll meet the survivor of the San Antonio-Denver series, which the Spurs lead, 3-1.

Allen, coming off a 45-point performance in Game 4, was smothered by double teams all night, but the Sonics supported him with a solid team effort reflected by seven players scoring in double figures.

Reserve forward Nick Collison, a Kansas University product, had 15 points and nine rebounds, Antonio Daniels scored 14, Jerome James added 11 points and six rebounds, and Reggie Evans and Luke Ridnour each scored 10.

Peja Stojakovic had 38 points and Mike Bibby 35, but Stojakovic missed his first six shots of the fourth quarter when the Kings needed him most.
