Spurs guard Marco Belinelli threw down a poster dunk over Sixers center Henry Sims in Philadelphia on Monday night.

Not known as a high-flyer, the 6-foot-5 Belinelli drew oohs and ahhs with this posterization of the 6-foot-10 Sims.

With a little more than 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter and the Spurs leading 33-32, Belinelli collected a pass from Jeff Ayres on the left wing and used a quick fake to get to the baseline past Hollis Thompson. Once he turned the corner, Belinelli made a beeline for the basket, coasting to his right slightly as he came across the paint. The final product was a big, right-handed cockback dunk over the top of Sims as Belinelli used his left arms to lightly wrap up the defender and avoid a potential block.

San Antonio (12-4) took a 15-point lead into halftime over Philadelphia (0-16) despite Tim Duncan and Tony Parker having the night off.
