It wasn’t Lebron over Jason Terry or DeAndre Jordan over Brandon Knight, but Brooklyn Nets rookie Tyshawn Taylor did put Boston Celtics rookie Fab Melo on a poster last night in Springfield for the D-League Dunk of the Night.
Here’s how CrabDribbles.com described it: “Midway through the third quarter, Taylor crossed his defender up, drove down the lane and dunked it over 7’0″ shot blocking sensation Fab Melo.”
Taylor scored 15 points and had 8 assists as his Springfield Armor lost,115-108, to the Maine Red Claws. It was the 8th game in an Armor uniform this season for the rookie out of Kansas in his fourth stint in the D-League.
In the two previous Armor games this week, Taylor earned Dunk of the Night honors for this 360 dunk against Erie, and Play of the Day for this and-one, reverse layup against Austin.
