SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – He’s not known for playing above the rim but against the Minnesota Timberwolves Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles threw down one of the best dunks of his NBA career.
Near the end of the third quarter Jazz guard Raul Neto stole the ball from the Timberwolves and found an open Ingles streaking towards the basket. Ingles caught the pass from Neto and hammered down a strong one-handed finish.
In his five-year career, all with Utah, Ingles has had just 19 dunks. His slam against Minnesota on Wednesday was just the second dunk of the 2018-19 season for Ingles.
