CLEVELAND, Ohio — Jarrett Allen stepped into the passing lane and extended his Gumby-like arm, deflecting the ball away from Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns and then corralling it around midcourt. No one between Allen and the basket, the closest New Yorker about three steps behind, Allen had designs on the latest addition to his personal highlight reel.
He dribbled to the dotted line, bounced off the court, soared to the rim, cocked the ball behind his head and threw down a one-handed dunk that caused hysteria inside Rocket Arena — a play that punctuated [the Cavs’ 124-105 come-from-behind win](https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2025/04/cavs-continue-dominance-against-new-york-knicks-rally-in-the-second-half-for-124-105-win.html) over old playoff rival New York.
