The NBA playoffs have countless historic performances, and according to Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen’s play in win-or-go-home games is up there with the best.For the Warriors, “Game 6 Klay” is a highly regarded moniker given to Klay Thompson following his 41-point explosion against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2016 Western Conference semifinals.Thompson knocked down a then single-game playoff-record 11 3-pointers as he helped lead the Warriors from the brink of elimination and eventually onto the NBA Finals.While that’s all fine and dandy, Mitchell didn’t hesitate after Cleveland’s 125-94 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday when asked whose performance was better – Thompson’s Game 6 or Allen’s Game 7.“I mean Game 7 [Jarrett Allen],” Mitchell said. “Come on, he’s two-for-two.” Q: "Game 7 J-A or Game 6 Klay?" @spidadmitchell: "I mean Game 7 J-A, come on he's two for two!"
