A stunning climax of Quentin Grimes took place early in the second quarter on Monday night on the road, immediately silencing the arena and prompting an immediate reaction online during Philadelphia 76ers‘ road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
The league posted a video on its official X (formerly known as Twitter), showing the 76ers guard soaring through traffic and ending emphatically over John Collins with the left hand.

The highlight quickly spread on social media as fans reacted to the power and timing of the dunk, and the NBA amplified the moment in real time and cemented it as one of the key plays of the night.
The dunk came much earlier in the night, setting an aggressive tone before the game moved into the late stages. The 76ers built on that energy over the next two quarters, turning a tenacious stretch of the second quarter into sustained control as the contest neared the final minutes.
By midway through the fourth quarter, the 76ers held a 117–104 advantage, maintaining a double-digit lead while driving the pace away from the Clippers. The margin reflected balance and physicality rather than reliance on one score.
Tyrese Maxey led the offense with 29 points and a team-best plus-minus, while Barlow had an impact on the interior with 20 points and 16 rebounds, including 10 offensive boards that led to extra possessions. Joel Embiid added 24 points and went seven-for-seven at the free-throw line, helping stabilize the 76ers whenever LA showed signs of momentum.
The Clippers tried to respond with short spurts, including Leonard’s fourth-quarter finish and Lopez’s perimeter shot, but The 76ers responded consistently. Within that larger context, the poster’s early dunk functioned as a tone-setter — an emphatic moment that previewed a road performance defined by control, effort and execution as the game moved toward its conclusion.
