The dunk was not only magnificent, but also helped the Lakers along to their third straight victory, beating the Spurs by a final score of 93-81. After a week filled with distractions from LaVar Ball's adventures in Lithuania, the winning streak brought some welcome relief to Los Angeles after a few weeks of subpar play.

There are rumors that Nance Jr. is available to teams looking to trade as Los Angeles seeks to shed salary heading into the 2018-19 season, so if your team is in need of a talented forward with a knack for mind-melting dunks, you know who to call.
