  • Brittney Griner threw down a dunk midway through the first quarter in Game 2 of the 2021 WNBA Finals.
  • The 6-foot-9 Phoenix Mercury center got the feed from teammate Shey Peddy, then beat Chicago Sky forward Azurá Stevens into the paint before rising up for the one-handed slam.
  • Phoenix Suns players - including Chris Paul, Jae Crowder, and more - who were sitting courtside at the game sprang out of their seats to celebrate the dunk as soon as she threw it down.
  • Griner scored the Mercury's first 10 points of the contest and led the team in both points and rebounds heading into halftime.
