Rockets’ Alperen Sengun jukes Jazz for sweet reverse slam dunk

Alperen Sengun pulled off an incredible dunk highlight during the Houston Rockets’ clash with the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

Sengun is going through the fifth year of his NBA career with the Rockets. He has bloomed into being one of the best big men in the league, helping the Rockets return to relevancy.

His offensive skillset, especially his playmaking, often comes to light. What doesn’t appear very often is his dunking tendency. That part of his game went on full display during Houston’s contest with Utah. The highlight took place in the third quarter as Sengun and Kevin Durant used pick-and-roll action to pull it off. Durant got the ball back to his co-star, who did a euro step to get past his defender then leap in the air for the reverse dunk.
