Video: Magic's Victor Oladipo blocks dunk attempt by Blazers' Damian Lillard
Magic rookie guard Victor Oladipo pulled off a sensational block on Blazers guard Damian Lillard during Portland's 110-94 home victory on Wednesday.
Midway through the fourth quarter with the Blazers leading 90-82, Portland took off on a two-on-one fast break. Nicolas Batum shoveled the ball to Lillard, who elevated in the middle of the paint for a one-handed slam attempt. Hustling back on defense, Oladipo rose incredibly high to cleanly swat Lillard's dunk try and spark a fast break in the other direction.
