No Jarrett Allen for the Cavs tonight, in a 2-2 series where they’ve dropped the last two against a physical club? That’s big – 7:31 PM

More on this storyline
Kendra Andrews: Jarrett Allen, who is listed as questionable for tonight with a right rib contusion, will warm up before his status is determined, Bickerstaff says. Bruised his ribs in the first half of Game 4. Bickerstaff says if he does play, Allen will wear some form of padding. -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / April 30, 2024
Between Carter’s physical presence in the lineup and the pressure the Magic applied to Mitchell and Garland, Orlando had a ton of juice to attack Cleveland’s interior defense in a way that did not seem possible through two games. “You could tell that (Magic coach) Jamahl Mosley did an excellent job planning for this game,” said Jarrett Allen, whose 15 points and eight rebounds were good but not nearly enough. “There’s times when I was just in the corner, I stood in the corner last game, but, just overall, you could see tiny differences that accumulate into a lot.” -via The Athletic / April 26, 2024
Kendra Andrews: Allen says he takes rebounding inspiration from former Cav Anderson Varejao: “He was an excellent rebounder all throughout his career. Was he the best overall? No. But every time he went on the court he wanted it. I try to replicate that.” He wouldn’t say who has the better hair. -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / April 22, 2024
