Allen’s Contributions No Laughing Matter
You never know what to expect from Lavoy Allen, on the court or in the locker room. But Saturday, in a game his teammates expected something significant from him, he delivered his best game as a Pacer.
The power forward and power prankster finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds in the 105-84 victory over Detroit at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, filling in admirably for Thaddeus Young, who sprained his left wrist in Friday's game at Brooklyn. And to think just a few weeks ago, Allen had played himself out of the rotation, losing his backup spot to Kevin Seraphin.
"He was probably our MVP tonight," coach Nate McMillan said.
