Kristaps Porzingis' Ridiculous Dunk Is Going Viral In Magic-Celtics Game
On Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics are hosting the Orlando Magic in Massachusetts.
During the second half, Kristaps Porzingis had a big dunk that is getting a lot of attention on social media.
Derrick White missed a three-pointer, and Porzingis caught the rebound and threw down a slam dunk over several defenders (he was also fouled on the play).
Porzingis came into the day with averages of 19.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 blocks per contest while shooting 52.5% from the field and 32.6% from the three-point range in 18 games.
He is in his first season with Boston after getting traded (via the Washington Wizards) over the offseason.
The Celtics are the first seed in the Eastern Conference with a 19-5 record in their first 24 games.
They are 8-2 over their last ten games and in the middle of a four-game winning streak.
Most recently, the Celtics defeated the Magic (also at home) by a score of 128-111.
Following the Magic, they will play their next game on Tuesday evening when they visit Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Porzingis was the fourth pick in the 2015 NBA Draft and is in his eighth season playing in the league.
In addition to the Celtics and Wizards, he has also spent time with the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks.
His career averages are 19.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks per contest while shooting 45.5% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range.
