Milwaukee Bucks’ top 5 plays of the week: Alley-oops galore!
5. Jabari Parker posterizes a poor soul.
Even in their super-sloppy game against the Orlando Magic on Monday night, the Bucks found a way to come up with at least one highlight (maybe more) on their way to moving into sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
This was a beautiful display of ball-movement and passing by the Bucks and resulted in Parker doing what Parker does best and that’s dunking the basketball:

Trailing by two points midway through the third quarter, the Bucks desperately needed someone or something to wake them from their slumber. And this was exactly what the doctor ordered.
The play started out sloppy (just like the rest of the night), as Eric Bledsoe almost lost the handle and had the ball taken away from him. He then regained control and hit John Henson in the center of the lane with a bounce pass. Henson then hit the cutting Parker with another bounce pass and Parker immediately went to the sky. Poor Nikola Vucevic thought he could hang with the former No. 2 overall pick but Jambari yammed all over him.
Eventually, the Bucks got things going late in the third quarter and cruised to a victory over the Magic.
