Jarrett Allen’s dunk with 2:01 remaining in overtime gave Cleveland a 100-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night, keeping the Cavaliers unbeaten in five OT games this season. Dallas was without Luka Doncic, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Dwight Powell.
“It was a character win because we just didn’t have it tonight,” Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said, via ESPN. “But that wasn’t an excuse for the guys. They went out and picked it up defensively, which you’ve got to do when your shots aren’t falling.”
