Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Blocks two shots in loss

Allen closed Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago with 14 points (7-9 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes.

After a lackluster return to action against Charlotte on Sunday, Allen responded with a well-rounded effort Wednesday. Allen is still working his way back from a finger injury that held him out for nine games, but he should hold down Cleveland's center position for the foreseeable future, especially with Evan Mobley (calf) out for a couple of weeks. Allen has played 30 minutes only twice this season and not since Nov. 5.
