Dunk-dependence Day 

He only scored 10 points, but still, it might as well have been Hollis-Jefferson’s own night based on the ZonaZoo’s dedication to him on Thursday.

Oh, and it helped that he probably had the play of the game. Or, at least, the most fun play of the game, in classic Hollis-Jefferson style.

With 4:14 in the first half left, Hollis-Jefferson was doubled in the corner, looked like he was about to fall, caught his balance — still dribbling — and as the second defender left, he pivoted to the rim, and dunked it down, hard, with one hand.
