The Knicks’ 122-102 loss to the Pacers on Wednesday night was one to forget, save for one fabulous highlight courtesy of Obi Toppin.
It was a mostly frustrating night for New York, but down seven early in the second quarter, Toppin provided one of the best dunks of the year thanks to his typical awareness in transition. Following a Pacers miss on the other end, Toppin broke down the court, grabbed an outlet lob from Derrick Rose, and threw down an emphatic between-the-legs dunk that electrified the Knicks bench.
It wasn’t enough to electrify the team to a win, but it is certainly one of the top plays of the year for New York so far.
It also looked like Toppin was practicing the dunk in warmups before the game, and the former Slam Dunk Contest participant clearly felt confident enough in the move to break it out when it counted.
