Dunn enters to Harden, then drifts like he’s going to dunker spot. Instead, sets a vicious screen to free up Zubac to catch right at rim.

Now, for the top-10 oop finishers. 11 guys have made at least 20 alley-oops:
Ware and Ayton are tied for the league lead with 36, but it's actually Ayton's teammate, Jaxson Hayes, who leads on a per-minute basis.
It's good to play next to Doncic, Reaves, and LeBron!
