Joel Embiid powered home a huge slam dunk during the Philadelphia 76ers' Eastern Conference semifinals Game 1 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night.
The All-Star center had a tough night in Toronto as he was limited to 16 points on 5-18 shooting from the floor, but he did produce one of the most memorable plays of the evening.
Embiid received the ball on the right wing late in the first quarter and quickly evaded Serge Ibaka before taking off and soaring over Jodie Meeks to momentarily silence the home crowd.
It was a rare moment of success for Embiid, who was generally well defended by Ibaka and Marc Gasol.
The game was dominated by Kawhi Leonard, whose career playoff high 45-point showing led the Raptors to a 108-95 victory.
Embiid has been hampered by left knee tendinitis since February's All-Star break, but said before Game 1 that he intends to play more minutes in this series, despite admitting he is still experiencing discomfort.
