Jarrett Allen

In battling the NBA’s best road team, a former three-time Defensive Player of the Year, and his injury-riddled team’s shortened rotation during a three-games-in-four-nights stretch, Jarrett Allen decided the unfavorable circumstances were suitably fitted for the performance of his life. Ahead by one, and two minutes away from turning a valiant effort into an upset victory, the former All-Star center decides to attack his opportunity with vigor, supplying his teammate with an outlet before elevating into a two-handed flush, just quickly enough to evade Rudy Gobert’s defensive presence. In logging 46 minutes with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ frontcourt depleted, Allen constructed a night to remember, putting in a career-high 33 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks, leading the charge in an overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 8, 2024.
