Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen showcased his skills and the team's high spirits with a stunning half-court shot before their game against the Utah Jazz. A delay due to a rim issue at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse provided Allen the opportunity to entertain the crowd and stay warm. His successful backward shot from half-court ignited the arena.

Allen, a key player in the Cavaliers' impressive start to the season, is averaging 13.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, one steal, and nearly one block per game. His performance last season earned him Defensive Player of the Year consideration.

Now in his fourth full season with the Cavaliers, Allen arrived in Cleveland as part of the multi-team trade that sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets. The Cavaliers have been a dominant force this season, boasting a remarkable 15-game win streak at the start and maintaining a strong record throughout December. Their success positions them as a top contender in the Eastern Conference.

Following a short Christmas break, the Cavaliers will embark on a four-game road trip, beginning with a matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
