Wednesday 6 February 2019 09:30, UK
Portland duo Jake Layman and Evan Turner connected on a sweet alley-oop slam during the Trail Blazers 118-108 home loss to the Miami Heat.
With 8:16 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Blazers trailed 98-91 and were looking for inspiration as they attempted to eradicate the Heat's lead.
Cue a delightful lofted pass from Turner from beyond the three-point arc and a spin move and cut to the basket from Layman.
The result? Layman elevated at the rim to collect Turner's floated pass and hammer home a two-handed slam to fire up the 'Rip City' faithful.
It proved to be not enough, however, as crucial scores from Hassan Whiteside and Josh Richardson saw the Heat pull away to record a 118-108 victory.
