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.

“It feels right,” Allen said. “This feels right.”

He’s 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 year’s title run. The Heat front office all made it very clear to Allen that he was wanted back.
