In the only match up of the season between the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers, the Clippers came away victorious after the final OT buzzer sounded. The other game within the game going on last night was to see who came away with the biggest dunk/alley oop of the night. That award had to go to the Heat.
In the first quarter after Blake Griffin threw down a monstrous dunk off of a bounce pass from Chauncey Billups. Then it was LeBron’s turn. Off of a Mario Chalmers steal, he moved the ball down the middle of the court with LeBron running along his side on the wing. Then it happened…Chalmers just threw the ball up, which seemed to almost be too high for James to grab and throw down, but he did. ONE HANDED and BAM! It got the crowd up on their feet going insane. Even celebrity fan, Billy Crystal could only sit there in amazement. The cameras caught him just mouthing, “wow…wow.”
Yes, the Heat ended with a loss in the game, but at least they came away from it saying they topped the Clippers in the Wow Factor part of the game. Fans were treated to a number of highlight plays on both sides and more of these plays are likely from each of these teams throughout the rest of the season.
