"Wolf, all 6-11 and 252 pounds of him, needed only one dribble to glide from the 3-point line to the basket. Then he unloaded a vicious right-handed slam over Miles Bridges, one of the league's most explosive leapers. There was no howl, no over-the-top celebration. Wolf simply strutted along the baseline, arms swinging, owning the moment like he'd been there before while the Nets' bench erupted and Barclays Center roared."
"By Tuesday morning, Wolf's emphatic jam had landed at No. 3 on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays. It also put an exclamation point on Brooklyn's first home win of the season and marked the first victory of Wolf's NBA career where he played a meaningful role. But for all the promise Wolf had shown in his last two outings, including a career-high 22 points against the Bucks on Saturday, nobody expected that."
Danny Wolf attacked a lane with 2:03 left and finished a one-dribble drive with a thunderous right-handed dunk over Miles Bridges. The dunk energized the Nets' bench, ignited Barclays Center and earned a Top 10 spot on SportsCenter. The play sealed Brooklyn's first home win and represented Wolf's first meaningful-contribution victory in the NBA. Wolf had shown prior promise, including a recent career-high 22 points against the Bucks. Teammates praised his athleticism, ball-handling and quick movement, and his minutes are growing as he earns respect in the locker room.
