We Belive: Dubs Reflect on Baron Davis’ Iconic Dunk

It was May 11, 2007. The Warriors were hosting the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Semifinals and were leading the favored Jazz 119-99 with 2:51 left in the fourth quarter. Baron Davis was at the three-point line with the ball looking for a way to score.

He pushed full steam ahead toward the baseline, then turned toward the bucket. But rather than look to dish the ball off or go up for a layup, Davis had something else in mind.

He saw his opportunity to get to the hoop, but Davis would have to rise up against Utah’s Andrei Kirilenko.
