Brooklyn Nets forward Thaddeus Young hasn’t dunked as much this year than in past years, but it’s certainly not for a lack of athleticism. This one right here on the Indiana Pacers is proof positive: Young caught the bigger David West off-balance at the top of the key, dove into the lane before a normally staunch Indiana Pacers defense could react, and threw down an emphatic slam dunk.
The Nets got off to a hot start in the first quarter against the Pacers, hitting their first five shots and reaching the 30-point mark in the first for the second straight game and the third time in their last four games.
