What happened: Jarrett Allen threw down a contested dunk over OG Anunoby late in the contest. The slam highlighted a tight fourth-quarter stretch between the teams.

Why it matters: Allen continues to anchor the interior while providing efficient scoring and rim protection in the early part of the season. His offensive consistency remains a central component of Cleveland's frontcourt rotation as the team navigates its regular-season slate.

By the numbers: Allen has recorded 13.1 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per game and 1.2 assists per game in 2026-27 through 9 games.

What to watch: The teams will look to carry their late-game momentum into their upcoming regular-season matchups.
