3. Cleveland Cavaliers (501 total dunks) — Jarrett Allen: 164 dunks
Jarrett Allen was fourth in the NBA in total dunks with 164 and Evan Mobley was eighth with 151, giving the 2021-22 Cleveland Cavaliers two players on the top-10 list, the only team this season to pull that off. Allen and Mobley’s 315 combined dunks are more than each of the bottom-five teams! (Spurs 251, Pistons 257, Blazers 293, Pacers 294 and Heat 304.) But Allen and Mobley still aren’t the highest teammate combination. That’s because Gobert’s league-leading 233 dunks paired with Hassan Whiteside’s 86 gives the Jazz four more than Cleveland’s twin towers.
This was the highest finish for the Cavs in total dunks since the 2014-15 season when Cleveland also finished third. Who led that 2014-15 Cavs team in dunks? It was not LeBron. It was Tristan Thompson! LeBron was actually not even second. Tristan Thompson had 117 and Timofey Mozgov (!!) had 91 dunks. LeBron was third with 88.
Also, if you power dunk on three players on the same play, you deserve a shout-out. So shout out to Isaac Okoro! (This was the first dunk cut from the top 10 list.)
