Few things spark joy, like a clean poster dunk. Basketball fans witnessed a monster dunk Monday during the Boston Celtics’ visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown sent C’s fans leaping off their seats after delivering an obliterating dunk on three-time NBA DPOY Rudy Gobert.
The dunk was vicious. So were the reactions. Down went the “StifleTower.”
WATCH:
Brown kept the Celtics’ electric momentum going strong. Coming into Monday’s matchup, the Celtics enjoyed an undefeated 5-0 record to start the year.
These star-worthy plays are expected of Brown, a $300 million supermax player as of this recent offseason. Jaylen Brown is credited as a capable two-way player. He provides stiff defense against opposing wing players and can hit from mid-to-far range while still attacking the basket (if he’s not dribbling left).

The 3-2 Timberwolves have a shot at a statement win against Boston. With Gobert, FIBA star Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota aims to live up to the expectations of its skilled roster that frequently sputters on offense.
