MIAMI -- Ray Allen was wearing a pair of ski goggles to protect his eyes from the spray of champagne in the Miami Heat locker room last week, and assessed what it was like to be part of another NBA championship celebration. Jermon Bushrod Saints Jersey . "It feels right," Allen said. "This feels right." Hes hoping things stay that way next season. Quickly tying up a loose end for the Heat, Allen exercised his $3.2 million player option Friday to remain with the club next season, when Miami will aim for a third straight NBA title. He wound up playing a huge role for Miami in this years title run, especially by hitting what he described as the biggest shot of his career -- a 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in regulation of Game 6 of the NBA Finals against San Antonio, forcing overtime and saving the season. Teammates, coaches and the Heat front office all made it very clear to Allen that he was wanted back for next season, with Udonis Haslem even stressing that to him as the team showered following the celebration that followed Game 7. Allen left Miami following the end-of-season team meeting on Tuesday without giving the organization an answer, though didnt keep people waiting much longer. He could have elected to become a free agent and wound up getting more years and more money in a new deal, and decided to stay with the Heat anyway. And after this playoff run, hes already part of team lore. The Heat were down by three in the final moments of Game 6, and the Spurs were moments away from celebrating a title. Chris Bosh got an offensive rebound and passed the ball to Allen, who was simultaneously stepping back to the 3-point line near the right corner of the floor. With no time to waste, Allen -- the most prolific 3-point shooter in NBA history -- let the shot fly, and it went through with a perfect swish. The Heat wound up winning in overtime. "There were so many moments down the stretch that allowed that shot to happen, and just incredible," Allen said at the teams parade this week. "So after Game 7, I have to say that is the biggest shot Ive ever hit in my career." Allen turns 38 next month, yet still played in 102 games during the regular season and playoffs for Miami. That was the most appearances by any player in the league this past season. Allen averaged 10.9 points in the regular season, and 10.2 points in the playoffs. With the team exercising its option on starting point guard Mario Chalmers, and with Rashard Lewis and James Jones exercising their rights to stay for next season, the next major course of business for the Heat figures to be trying to woo Chris Andersen to stay when he becomes a free agent next week. Teammates believe Andersen, who has remained in Miami since the championship and is working out, wants to return to the Heat next season. The Heat will also have a large luxury-tax bill next season, though team president Pat Riley said earlier this week that he has not been given a mandate to pare a player like Mike Miller or Joel Anthony to relieve some of that burden. Rileys hope is to bring the roster back as intact as possible. Miller also made a memorable 3-pointer for Miami during Game 6 of the finals, connecting early in the fourth quarter moments after losing his left sneaker. Allen said hell look back at that shot as one of the best of this years run to the title, even though his shot will surely be more remembered. "That was amazing," Allen said. "For him to hit that shot, it was incredible." Allen signed with the Heat last summer, turning down more years and more money to remain with the Boston Celtics. Allen said earlier this week that he particularly enjoyed the camaraderie in the Heat locker room, especially the "Harlem Shake" video that became a global YouTube sensation midway through the season. "When I got here, within the first two weeks, I felt like I had been here for two, three years because the guys welcomed me in so warmly," Allen said. "Theyve been awesome to me."

The Saints made a bright start to the campaign, rising to second place through 12 matches. But with the meat of the schedule on the horizon, Southampton dropped its third match of the season to remain on 26 points and fall to third place in the table. Yaya Toure, Frank Lampard and Gael Clichy produced the goals in Citys impressive victory, lifting the club to second place with 27 points. The Citizens were denied a seemingly stonewall penalty in the ninth minute when Sergio Aguero went to ground under a rash sliding challenge from Jose Fonte at the edge of the box. Referee Mike Jones blew the whistle but shockingly issued a caution to the Argentine for simulation. Southampton settled into the match and came close to breaking the deadlock in the 21st minute following a scramble in the City penalty area. Graziano Pelle connected on Morgan Schneiderlins cross but saw his effort denied by Joe Hart. The England goalkeeper then stopped Steven Davis shot on the rebound while Dusan Tadics follow-up was blocked and turned out for a corner. Citys best scoring chance of the opening period came at the half-hour mark when Stevan Jovetic managed to put his shot beyond Fraser Forster in the Southampton net, but Toby Alderweireld was tracking back to clear the sshot off the line.

The breakthrough eventually came in just the sixth minute of the second half as Toure collected Agueros layoff and fired a low shot toward goal that took a deflection on its way past Forster. The Saints were granted a lifeline in the 74th minute when Eliaquim Mangala received his marching orders after committing a second bookable offense for a foul on Shane Long, but City managed to double its advantage just six minutes later as Lampard took a square pass and hammered a shot past Forster from the top of the box. Clichy made sure of the win two minutes from time when a counter culminated with the defender taking a square pass from Aguero and placing the ball into the upper corner from close range. Tottenham claimed a much-needed Premier League win on Sunday, defeating Everton, 2-1, at White Hart Lane to climb to seventh place in the table. The hosts fell behind following a superb strike from Kevin Mirallas in the 15th minute, but Christian Eriksen managed to level the score six minutes later. The two sides appeared likely to head into the halftime interval on equal footing, but Roberto Soldado chipped in with a rare goal to put Tottenham in front in the first minute of stoppage time. It proved to be enough to grant Tottenham the win as the hosts staved off some late pressure from the Toffees to climb to 20 points on the season, three points better than Roberto Martinezs side.
