#3 Kristaps Porzingis’ version of a follow-up dunk

After Ricky Council IV did his, Kristaps Porzingis showed his version of that type of dunk. Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown drove past Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tobias Harris for a wide-open layup but banked it a little too hard off the board.

Porzingis came barreling in to throw down the ball with authority. Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed couldn’t put a body on the Latvian as he tried to belatedly go after Brown’s shot.

#2 Kristaps Porzingis repeat

Kristaps Porzingis had another emphatic slam but didn’t need Jaylen Brown to accomplish this one. After getting a screen from Tatum, Porzingis forced his way into the top of the keyhole where he got a perfect pass from Derrick White. He left behind Mo Bamba and then stretched his 7-foot-3 frame to dunk it over the flailing Buddy Hield.

#1 Jayson Tatum with the most authoritative dunk of the night

Jayson Tatum was unquestionably the biggest star on Tuesday night in the game between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. He also provided the best highlight reel in the matchup.

Boston was cruising to another win when Tatum got a mismatch with Cam Payne guarding him. The All-Star starter easily left the backup guard behind the 3-point line before skying high for an emphatic dunk. Once he stretched, nobody on the Sixers even tried to bother stopping the inevitable.
