Atlanta Hawks’ Kent Bazemore pulls off nasty come-from-behind block (Video)
By Sam Richmond
Mike Dunleavy thought he had a wide-open dunk, but Kent Bazemore had other ideas.
Wednesday’s game versus the Chicago Bulls doesn’t mean much to the Atlanta Hawks. They locked up home-court advantage up until the NBA Finals long ago and have nothing to gain by a win over the Bulls.

However, that hasn’t stopped the Hawks from playing hard and making the Bulls work hard if they want to win what is an important game for Tom Thibodeau’s squad.
A great example of the Hawks giving it their all: guard Kent Bazemore came down with an awesome come-from-behind block on Mike Dunleavy.
Take a look:
That’s a heck of an effort from Bazemore and a tough break for Dunleavy, who surely thought he had an easy two points.
In a game with so much on the line for the Bulls, every point surely matters to Dunleavy and Co.
If Chicago can beat Atlanta, they’ll clinch the No. 3 seed in the East. If they lose to the Hawks and the Toronto Raptors defeat the Charlotte Hornets, the Bulls would fall to the No. 4 spot.
Bazemore is averaging 5.2 points, three rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season.
