Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara posterized Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart during Sunday's home matchup. Afterward, NBA fans applauded Camara's highlight finish, with some mocking Stewart, one of the league's preeminent provocateurs.

Sunday's contest marked a battle between two of the NBA's most surprising teams, with Detroit (35-29) and Portland (28-36) exceeding expectations. The showdown didn't disappoint early on, as Camara delivered arguably one of the season's top dunks.

With the Pistons leading 45-38 midway through the second quarter, Camara caught a feed from teammate Donovan Clingan at the top of the arc. The pass set the sophomore up for a straight-line drive to the basket.

Stewart attempted to contest Camara as a help defender. However, his effort proved futile, as Camara elevated over him for a right-handed poster dunk.

Camara's ferocious slam left NBA fans buzzing on X/Twitter.

"Snatched away his soul!" @armish_20 said.
"He caught a body," @dgsire wrote.
"TOUMANI BUCKETS," @SixersShowYo said.

Meanwhile, others derided Stewart, who has garnered a reputation for having an erratic temper and instigating altercations. That includes targeting Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Steph Curry late in Saturday's 115-110 road loss.

Draymond Green backs Steph Curry after confrontation with Isaiah Stewart

NBA fans also enjoyed watching Steph Curry stand up to Isaiah Stewart on Saturday. Likewise, Curry's veteran teammate Draymond Green expressed satisfaction seeing the two-time MVP pick up his first technical foul of the season.

"If you get pushed on the sideline — I think everybody always tries to mistake (Curry) for some soft guy. (But) he's never backing down from anybody," Green said postgame. "So, I love to see it. I wish he'd get a few more (techs)."

Despite Stewart shoving Curry from behind to trigger their dispute, the two received equal penalties.

Nevertheless, given fans' reactions to Stewart getting posterized a day later, he appears to be establishing himself as one of the NBA's most hated players.
