Dunk: Best Slams, Highlights and Game-Changing Plays

Want the most electric dunks and highlight plays from recent games? This tag pulls together fast-break slams, clutch finishes and the match reports that matter. You’ll find short recaps, context on why a play changed a game, and pointers on where to watch the clips — all written in plain language.

Featured games and why they matter

Haliburton's buzzer-beater that lifted the Pacers over the Thunder is the kind of highlight we tag here because it changes momentum and headlines the highlight reels. Read the game story to see how one moment rewrote the box score.

The Thunder vs. Pacers Game 6 preview explains how injuries, matchups and late-game slams or misses affect both betting and momentum. If you're tracking which teams finish with high-flying plays, this is a must-read.

Warriors wins and tight finishes — like the 117-114 game against the Raptors — show how defensive plays and quick scores swing results. That game had clutch blocks and finishes that land straight into highlight packages.

How to follow dunks and top plays

Want the clips fast? Set alerts for game recaps and highlight reels on your phone, follow game threads, or check our live guides for broadcasting and streaming info. When a game looks close late, expect slams, put-backs and contested finishes — those are the plays that end up on replay loops.

Look for player matchups where athletic wings or bigs face slow interior defenders — those are the setups for thunderous dunks. Also watch for fast-break chances after turnovers; many highlight dunks come from transition buckets, not set plays.

We tag stories about big moments, not just dunks. That means buzzer-beaters, game-clinching blocks, and late runs show up here too. If a game had a defining moment — like a last-second basket or a momentum-shifting sequence — you’ll find the recap under this tag.

Check related posts for context: our pieces on playoff games, injury updates, and betting previews explain why certain plays mattered. For example, injury reports can change who gets dunk opportunities, while tactical write-ups show how coaches create fast-break chances.

If you want quick access to highlights, open the match recap first — we list the key plays at the top so you don't need to hunt. Prefer video? Look for the embedded clips and timestamped summaries in each story. Want analysis? Scroll down for tactical breakdowns and what the play means for the next game.
