Mario Hezonja threw down a monster dunk during the New York Knicks loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hezonja's highlight play proved to be the Knicks' only positive takeaway from a game in which they fell to a franchise-record 17th straight defeat, blowing several chances to complete a comeback before falling 107-104 to the struggling Cavs.
Hezonja's eye-catching play came with 10:07 remaining in the second quarter. He received a pass from Dennis Smith Jr on the left wing and, with the Cleveland defense failing to rotate, realised the baseline was open for an unimpeded drive to the rim.
'Super Mario' didn't hesitate, powering to the rim, with the ball in his right hand and hammering home a vicious tomahawk dunk in the face of Cav's big man Marquese Chriss at the rim.
