Jabari Parker was back home in Chicago and feeling healthy. A highlight was bound to happen.

Nikola Mirotic offered little resistance, and Parker made sure to finish explosively. It’s nice to see him healthy and doing this kind of thing often.

LaVine Mean Dunking Machine

In case you guys still weren’t aware, Zach LaVine is good at dunking.

This may be on a breakaway, but it’s during a game. An actual game with real consequences if he misses. And he still makes it look as routine as a layup.

It Came From a Pass Down Under

Andrew Bogut isn’t exactly the most common Warriors player featured in highlight videos this year. But he still does some pretty awesome things. Exhibit A: This pass to Klay Thompson.

If this were any other team, that pass gets picked off and taken the other way for a layup. But, because it’s Golden State, it goes right to Klay Thompson, who dribbles in and knocks down the jumper.

The Warrior Way

If you thought Andrew Bogut assist time was over, you were wrong! Look at how early he celebrates this Stephen Curry shot.

This is another thing that only goes right for the Warriors. That kind of premature celebration is only allowed with Stephen Curry shooting the ball. And, because it’s Steph, the shot going through the hoop was only a formality. Bogut knows the drill. It’s one long party this year for the Warriors.
