Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo goes coast-to-coast for huge slam

May 23 (UPI) — Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo rocked the rim with a coast-to-coast dunk against the Toronto Raptors in Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night.

Late in the second quarter, Raptors sharpshooter Danny Green clanged a shot off the rim. Antetokounmpo jumped over Toronto forward Pascal Siakam and grabbed the rebound.

After bringing down the board, the 6-foot-11 forward spun around Green and raced down the court. With Green as the primary defender, Antetokounmpo ignored the contact and drove to the basket.

Raptors big man Serge Ibaka attempted to block Antetokounmpo from behind, but the athletic forward completed the fastbreak with a powerful jam.

The series is tied 2-2.
