Cleveland Cavaliers center Timofey Mozgov threw down an impressive alley-oop dunk towards the end of the first half in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. 

Timofey Mozgov is more of a defensive presence than offensive threat, but the Cleveland Cavaliers center had two of the most memorable points in the first half of Tuesday night’s Eastern Conference Finals bout.

Mozgov threw down a sick alley-oop dunk off a Kyrie Irving pass that pushed the Cavs’ lead to 20 over the Atlanta Hawks.

Watch the impressive dunk below:

That sure will get the fans off their feet.

The Hawks ultimately cut the Cavs’ lead to 17 at the halftime break, but it’s hard to imagine they’ll be able to make a legitimate comeback in this one with the way Mozgov and the Cavaliers are playing. Mozgov scored nine points and added four rebounds in the first half.

Mozgov had never advanced further than the first round of the postseason in his career prior to this year, but it appears he’ll be headed to the NBA Finals soon enough with the Cavaliers holding a 3-0 series lead over Atlanta..

Mozgov is averaging 8.8 points (46.7 percent shooting from the field), 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game this postseason.
