Video: Sixers' Tony Wroten throws down poster dunk on Bobcats' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Sixers guard Tony Wroten threw down a poster dunk over Bobcats forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist during Philadelphia's 95-92 home victory on Wednesday.
With a little less than seven minutes remaining in the second quarter and the Sixers leading 34-32, Wroten attacked the paint hard from the left wing, easily finding a hole in the Bobcats' interior defense. Kidd-Gilchrist closed hard from the right wing in hopes of altering Wroten's line of attack, to no avail.
The 6-foot-5 Wroten took off from well outside the protected circle, dunking with his left hand as Kidd-Gilchrist contested the shot from his right side. This wasn't a pure, straight-on posterization, but the degree of difficulty level here was still substantial.
