Cleveland's star guard ranks his center's playoff heroics ahead of Dallas's veteran shooter.
Donovan Mitchell ranked Jarrett Allen's Game 7 performance above Klay Thompson's Game 6 outing, crediting his Cavaliers center's playoff heroics as the more significant moment. Mitchell, averaging 27.9 points across the regular season, spoke to the impact of Allen's late-game work in a deciding playoff matchup.
Allen, who averaged 15.4 points and 8.5 rebounds in the regular season, has been a cornerstone of Cleveland's frontcourt. Thompson, now 36 and with the Mavericks, averaged 11.7 points in limited regular-season minutes as a reserve option for Dallas.
