Andrew Wiggins' Dunk On Anthony Davis Went Viral
UPDATE: The Lakers defeated the Warriors 127-97, and Wiggins finished with 16 points, nine rebounds, four assists and one steal.
On Saturday evening, Andrew Wiggins and the Golden State Warriors are in Los Angeles facing off against the Lakers in Game 3 of their second-round playoff series.
During the game, Wiggins had a sensational dunk on Anthony Davis that is going viral on Twitter.
The former Kansas star caught the ball in the middle of the court with a running start and slammed it down as Davis jumped with him.
Wiggins has always been an elite dunker, but Davis is one of the best defenders in the league and came into the night averaging 4.1 blocks per contest during the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
Despite the major highlight, the Warriors are getting blown out and will fall into a 2-1 hole going into Game 4 back in Los Angeles on Monday night.
They won Games 5 and 7 of their first-round series against the Sacramento Kings on the road, but overall the Warriors have not been a good team away from the Chase Center this season (13-32 in 45 games prior to Game 3).
Wiggins is in his fourth season with the franchise and helped them win the 2022 NBA Championship over the Boston Celtics.
The former first-overall pick came into the evening with averages of 17.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field during the first nine games of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
