Jarrett Allen led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 114-102 series-clinching win over the Toronto Raptors in a Game 7, marking the best performance of his career. Allen, who had previously been labelled "soft," delivered a masterpiece that overwhelmed the Raptors and temporarily silenced critics. He scored 22 points, tying his playoff career high, and 19 rebounds, while still battling through nagging knee tendonitis. He becomes only the second player in franchise history to have at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in an elimination Game 7. The loss of a loss to the Raptors would have potentially left a significant financial impact on the team and potentially jeopardize the organization. Allen's performance was praised by teammates and coach Kenny Atkinson, who shared their admiration for his performance.
