It was the fourth quarter of Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Golden State Warriors were up 20 points at Oracle Arena after dropping the first two games of the series to the Utah Jazz.
Baron Davis, who had just led the "We Believe" Warriors to a first round upset over the Dallas Mavericks, had the ball at the top of the key and drove down the left side of the court, defended by Deron Williams. He was just about to slip past Williams for an easy dunk, so Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko slid over to help.
