Top 10 power dunks of the 2021-22 NBA Playoffs

6. Jaylen Brown — May 25, 2022

It’s a pivotal Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat. The series is tied 2-2, but the Celtics have a commanding 16-point lead with five minutes left in the fourth quarter at FTX Arena in Miami.

That’s when Jaylen Brown dribbles around a screen from Al Horford and steamrolls downhill. Bam Adebayo steps up to help, but he’s too late. Brown immediately has the upper hand and rockets up to the rim, throwing down the dunk with such force that Brown falls to the ground. The damage is done. The Celtics bench is losing their minds. Pat Riley and Alonzo Mourning look miserable. It’s the exclamation point on a gargantuan Celtics win on the shores of Biscayne Bay.

Mike Breen on the call: “Jaylen Brown with the finish!! WOW!”

Mark Jackson adds on the replay: “Nobody move, nobody gets hurt. I got an appointment with the rim. Big-time finish. Emphatic.”
