(Central News Agency Cleveland 3rd Comprehensive Foreign News Report) Cleveland Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen delivered an outstanding performance today with 22 points and 19 rebounds, leading the entire team to a 114-102 victory over the Toronto Raptors in Game 7 of the series, advancing to the second round of the playoffs. They will now face the Eastern Conference top seed, the Detroit Pistons.
According to the Associated Press, Allen today equaled his personal playoff high in scoring, collaborating with teammates Donovan Mitchell and James Harden to secure this crucial game victory. Mitchell contributed 22 points, and Harden added 18 points.
In the NBA playoffs, all home teams in the Cavaliers-Raptors series won. The fourth-seeded Cavaliers ultimately advanced to the second round with a 4-3 series record. The entire team will travel to face the Pistons on the road on the evening of the 5th.
For the Raptors today, Scottie Barnes scored 24 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, while RJ Barrett had 23 points. This year marks the Raptors' first return to the playoffs since 2022.
The Cavaliers launched a 49-21 offensive run over a 15-minute period from the second to the third quarter, turning a 9-point deficit into a 19-point lead. During this period, Allen contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds.
The Raptors maintained a lead for most of the first half today, even holding a 10-point advantage midway through the second quarter. However, the Cavaliers then relied on an 11-2 run to head into halftime, with both teams tied at 49-49 at the break.
The Cavaliers had previously shot only 4-for-17 from three-point range until Harden, Max Strus, and Jaylon Tyson successively hit from beyond the arc, ending their scoring drought.
At the start of the third quarter, the Cavaliers scored 9 consecutive points to establish their lead, with Mitchell scoring 5 points and Evan Mobley adding 4 points. Mitchell's firepower once gave the Cavaliers a double-digit lead, coupled with Allen's morale-boosting dunk. By the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers had a 19-point advantage.
Although the Raptors narrowed the gap in the fourth quarter, the significant bleeding in the third quarter, where they were outscored 19-38 by the Cavaliers, cost them the opportunity to advance to the second round of the playoffs. (Compiler: Qu Xiang-ping) 1150504
