The Cleveland Cavaliers have a long-term keeper in recent trade acquisition in Jarrett Allen, and he looks to be a great fit in stretches with Larry Nance Jr.

The NBA’s newest super-team in the Brooklyn Nets made their debut against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. While NBA fans tuned in to watch the league’s new Big Three, they ended up watching the Cavaliers bring it home in double-overtime, besting the Nets.

That was with Collin Sexton putting up a career high 42 points, 22 of which came after the fourth quarter, and that led Cleveland to a resounding victory over the Nets, 147-135.
