CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Just one day after being snubbed from the NBA All-Star roster, Jarrett Allen proved that he clearly belonged in the top-talent showcase via his performance in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 102-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets Friday night on the road.
His dominant performance continued, only pausing for a quick break as Allen worked on his knee in the second quarter after getting a bit banged up on a play. Once he returned, he came back just as hot as he started, putting up 29 total points, 22 rebounds and two assists. Love put up 25 points with nine rebounds, hitting six threes over the course of the night and contiuing his hot streak off the bench that have people putting him in the conversation for Sixth Man of the Year honors at the end of the season.
"He's Kevin Love, there was no doubt in our mind that when he was going to the free throw line that he was going to make them both," Bickerstaff said after the game."He's been there before and he walked up there and hit them both."
