4. The rookie drives home the hammer

I was considering using Draymond’s scuffle with Boogie as the fourth highlight in this slideshow due to the fact it basically forced the refs to blow the whistle every five seconds, thereby inadvertently shifting the momentum into Golden State’s favor.

Instead, I decided to feature an alley-oop slam by Jordan Bell, who’s quickly become a fan favorite with his highflying ability.

Not only was this play a beautiful work of art, but the dish from Draymond was absolutely perfect, putting it in exactly the right place for Bell to set up for the emphatic throwdown.

Bell is primarily known as a defender, but if he can just continue to throw down lobs over and over and over again, he’ll find his niche with this team soon enough.
