    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SAN ANTONIO -- Halfway through the fourth quarter of Game 4, the Sonics were putting the finishing touches on a victory that evened their Western Conference semifinal series against the Spurs at 2-2.

    There was one surprise left, though, as Ray Allen gathered his teammates to preach patience.

    "I had just got done telling the guys, 'Look we need to execute the offense. Run through every option,' " the Sonics guard said.

    It's something a coach would say, something Nate McMillan might have said. Only he didn't.

    "Nate came over and said to keep playing, keep pushing it," Allen said.

    Allen smiled as he recounted the instructions from McMillan, never having been so happy to hear a coach disagree with him.

    Ray was one of the few NBA players who usually sound intelligent when they talk. He sounds like Reggie Evans with that last comment.
