Scoring carnival: Jarrett Allen sets new NBA record as Cleveland defeats Portland

The 27-year-old Cleveland forward delivered the best game of his career.

Details: Last night, in another round of NBA action, Cleveland managed to overcome Portland on the road in a spectacular and high-scoring affair, finishing 111-130.

The visitors' convincing win was largely thanks to the relentless performance of Cleveland's 27-year-old forward Jarrett Allen, who exploded for a staggering 40 points in just 30 minutes, while also grabbing 17 rebounds, dishing out 5 assists, making 2 steals, and blocking 4 shots—all in just 29 minutes and 30 seconds of actual playing time.
