Former Texas Longhorns basketball player Jarrett Allen is in rarified air. Allen became just the second player in Cleveland Cavaliers history to have more than 20 points and 15 rebounds in a Game 7 of an NBA Playoff series.
Allen, who played Texas in the 2016-2017 season under coach Shaka Smart, averaged 13.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in Austin. Texas finished a disastrous 11–22 that year and he entered the 2017 NBA Draft where he was picked No. 22 by the Brooklyn Nets. He's been in Cleveland since 2021.
In Game 7 against the Toronto Raptors, Allen took over. Especially on the offensive glass, grabbing 19 rebounds that led to easy put-backs. He scored a team high 22 points on 7-of-11 shooting.
"Just give everything you got," Allen said after the game. "All I ask for the guys is just give more. Just give one more effort. Give one more push ... everything's on the line."
Allen simply outworked the Raptors all over the court.
The No. 4 seed Cavs will now face Eastern Conference No. 1 seed Detroit Pistons in the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs.
