Miles Turner, the Indiana center, claimed the top spot in NBA's traditional daily highlight collection with an impressive power move. The American big man received a pass near the paint and hammered down a forceful slam dunk in traffic.
"Those are the kind of plays that energize the whole arena," basketball analysts noted when reviewing the day's best moments.
The NBA compiled its usual Top-5 plays of the day, with Turner's thunderous finish leading the pack. Worth noting that the entire compilation showcases the elite athleticism that makes the league so captivating to watch.
Meanwhile, in playoff action, "Oklahoma City" evened the series with a confident victory in their conference finals matchup. The team's balanced performance helped them regain momentum after dropping the previous game.
Do these highlight-reel plays actually impact team performance? Sometimes a momentum-shifting dunk like Turner's can spark a run that changes the entire complexion of a game. Basketball remains a game of momentum shifts, after all.
