Jarrett Allen makes Cavs history in win over Magic

Jarrett Allen set a franchise record with his 12th consecutive double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled to a 126-99 road blowout of the Orlando Magic on Monday.

Allen surpassing Elmore Smith and Andre Drummond — with whom Allen was tied for the Cavaliers double-double mark coming into the night — provided the only drama of the second half in a wire-to-wire, lopsided affair.

Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell posted 25 points and a career-high-matching 13 assists.

Max Strus scored the game’s first five points to set Cleveland on its way to a rout of an Orlando team playing the second night of a back-to-back set.

The Cavaliers made eight first-quarter 3-pointers en route to a 38-19 advantage through the opening period. Their lead swelled to 25 points at halftime, then 33 through three quarters on the way to their eighth straight win.
