What happened: Hall of Fame writer Marc J. Spears joined SVP on SportsCenter to break down Jarrett Allen's decisive role in the Cavaliers' Game 7 victory. Spears called the second half "the Jarrett Allen show," highlighting the big man's takeover as Cleveland advanced. The Cavaliers move on to the Eastern Conference semifinals after eliminating their first-round opponent.

Why it matters: Allen's Game 7 performance is significant for a Cavaliers team that has leaned on its frontcourt during a banged-up postseason run. With Cleveland advancing to the conference semifinals, Allen's interior production becomes a swing factor against deeper playoff competition. The win also reinforces the value of Cleveland's two-big lineup in high-leverage games.

What to watch: Watch how Cleveland deploys Allen in the conference semifinals and whether his Game 7 form carries into a longer series. Rotation usage and matchup-based minutes will be the key indicator.
