Blazers forward Nicolas Batum threw down a poster dunk on Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas during Portland's 118-110 overtime victory at the Air Canada Centre on Sunday.
With a little less than five minutes remaining in the third quarter and Portland leading 68-64, Batum worked on the left wing against Rudy Gay. Driving to his left to take advantage of a sneaky screen from LaMarcus Aldridge, Batum turned the corner easily and had a full beat to size up Valanciunas, who provided help from the weakside. Batum rose high and drifted to his right, absorbing a bump before he extended to finish with an authoritative finish.
Portland held off a strong Toronto run at the end of regulation to survive in overtime.
