The Knicks blew out the Sixers for the second time in as many days, and this slam dunk from J.R. Smith provided the exclamation point.

Two things to love about this one: First, the way Smith’s entire body seems to arch back as he’s flying toward the rim before throwing it down is amazing. And second, the fact that he took a few steps toward, and possibly even into the crowd on the road after doing so shows all kinds of swagger.
