Allen’s monster jam sparks Nets’ victory
Rookie’s dunk helps Brooklyn end season-high eight-game slide
Jarrett Allen wasn’t going to take it anymore.
The rookie center’s thunderous, highlight-reel dunk sparked a decisive third-quarter run as the Brooklyn Nets finally ended their season-high eight-game losing streak Monday night with an impressive 104-87 victory over the Chicago Bulls in front of 15,081 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
Allen, who has steadily improved throughout his initial foray into the NBA, came off a pick clean and slid out to the left side of the basket where he received a feed from point guard D’Angelo Russell.
