Alperen Sengun performs jazz for a sweet back slam

Alperen Sengun had an incredible dunk during Houston The Rockets clash with the Utah Jazz on Monday evening.

Sengun is in the fifth year of his NBA career with the Rockets. He blossomed into one of the best big men in the league, helping the Rockets return to relevance.

His offensive skill set, especially his playmaking, is often on display. What doesn’t come up often is his penchant for dunks. That part of his game was on full display during Houston’s contest with Utah. The highlight happened in the third quarter when Sengun and Kevin Durant used pick-and-roll action to get him out. Durant passed the ball back to his teammate, who took a euro step to get past his defender, then leapt into the air for a reverse dunk.
