Allen has developed tremendously this season and last night’s performance was one of many great showcases for him. He posted a career-high in points (20) earlier this season and even had a 14-rebound game. Since the turn of the calendar year, he’s had six games of 16-plus points.
In his first 41 games, coming off the bench. Allen averaged 6.4 points on 55.5 percent shooting and 4.6 rebounds.
