Rudy Gobert sets new NBA single-season dunk record

Rudy Gobert has dunked his way into the record books.

With a two-handed flush of a Donovan Mitchell lob in the second quarter of Monday’s game against the Phoenix Suns, Gobert notched his 270th dunk of the season. That jam gave Gobert the record for most dunks in an NBA season since the stat started being recorded in 2000.

The previous record of 269 was held by Washington Wizards big man Dwight Howard.

Gobert is averaging 3.68 dunks per game this season, helping him to a career-best 15.
