NBA Twitter lost its mind after seeing Phoenix Suns forward Cam Johnson’s emphatic dunk on P.J. Tucker in Game 3 on Sunday.
The Milwaukee Bucks and their fans were feeling great after the first half, where they led the Phoenix Suns by the score of 60-45. The fans were so pleased, that they began chanting “Bucks in six,” expressing their confidence in Milwaukee coming back from their 0-2 deficit to win the NBA title. Suns forward Cam Johnson told every one of those Bucks diehards to pump the brakes on that talk.
In the third quarter, Johnson drove to the paint with the basketball, but Bucks forward P.J. Tucker was standing in his way. The thing is, Johnson did not care, as he unleashed an emphatic dunk over the NBA veteran to cut their deficit to 69-58. NBA Twitter collectively lost its mind after watching it, sharing the same emotions as Tucker did — pure shock.

To make matters worse for Tucker, he was called for a blocking foul after getting dunked on by Johnson. The Suns forward hit the and-one at the free-throw line after Milwaukee unsuccessfully challenged the call, cutting Phoenix’s deficit to 69-59. While Tucker is getting roasted on social media for being on the receiving end of the slam dunk, he will get the last laugh, as the Bucks held a 98-76 lead after the third quarter.
In Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Cam Johnson secured the dunk of the entire playoffs. Sorry Kawhi Leonard, there is simply no topping what the national audience saw on July 11 from Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
