Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner has had another good season in Indianapolis. Thursday night’s dunk over Tristan Thompson in Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers might be the exclamation point on Turner’s season.
The play happened during the second quarter at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Turner missed a right wing jumper, but the ball came off the iron long and back in his general vicinity.
Turner then scooped the ball up and raised back for a huge one-handed dunk over Thompson.
Here’s how it looked on the floor:

Just DIRTY.
I especially enjoyed Turner’s father’s reaction to the slam:
