9. Giannis Antetokounmpo — May 9, 2022
It’s Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks lead the series 2-1 and have a four-point lead a minute into the third quarter at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
Marcus Smart curls around a deep screen from Al Horford in the paint and tries to pass it back to Horford. But Horford isn’t there. The pass lands in Jrue Holiday’s lap. The Bucks are off to the races.
Holiday flips a pass to Giannis Antetokounmpo, a man on a mission to get to the rack. Horford tries to thwart this mission, but he’s no match for Giannis on this one. The Greek Freak easily pulls off the towering jam, catching the rim with brute force that results in that glorious sound of the rim shooting back up.
Fiserv Forum roars as Giannis stares down Horford, earning Giannis a tech for taunting and lighting a fire into the nodding Horford. Big Al and the Celtics would get the last laugh, outscoring the Bucks 43-28 in the fourth quarter to tie the series at 2-2. Horford would score 30 points in the game and had his own power dunk on Giannis in the fourth quarter, elbowing Giannis right in the face in the process. However, that Horford dunk didn’t have nearly the same level of pure power as this one from Giannis.
