3. J.R. Smith’s Alley-Oop Dunk from Iman Shumpert in Their Return to MSG

What better way to enjoy your homecoming and rub it in your former team’s face than to connect on a jaw-dropping alley-oop? That’s exactly what Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith did in their first game back at Madison Square Garden on February 22nd since being traded from the New York Knicks to the Cavs. In a game that was a laugher from the start in favor of Cleveland’s dominance, Smith snuck past Knicks forward Cleanthony Early as Shumpert fed him a perfect pass for a reverse dunk. The Cavs would go on to win the game, 101-83 and improve their record to 35-22.
