The Cleveland Cavaliers had a ton of highlight dunks tonight, and Iman Shumpert made sure to make an addition of his own.

Iman Shumpert’s name was kind of falling off with the dreadful New York Knicks, but he has brought back some excitement to his game ever since he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland had one goal as the regular season comes to a quick end: clinch the 2-seed in the Eastern conference playoffs. They still have a few games to play, but they were able to complete that goal with a 104-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. To no surprise, it was the big three of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love who carried the Cavaliers with a combined 64 points, 24 rebounds and 17 assists.

The starters are always going to do their job, but it’s the bench that will need to step up for the Cavaliers if they want to make a deep playoff run. Tristan Thompson and Iman Shumpert lead Cleveland’s second unit, and the two did a good job tonight by coming for 20 points, 12 rebounds and one monster dunk.

It was a good look for James, but it was an even better job of timing the rebound by Shumpert. It was a really tight game at that moment, and plays like that are what can help give one team a little edge.
