The storied rivalry between the Lakers and Celtics produced a memorable play less than a quarter into their recent matchup. With significant time remaining in the first period, Boston's Neemias Queta executed a powerful slam dunk over the Lakers' Luka Doncic.
Queta received a bounce pass from Derrick White after setting a screen and rolled to the basket. Doncic attempted to contest the play near the restricted area, but the 7-foot center elevated to complete a forceful one-handed dunk, drawing an enthusiastic reaction from the Celtics' sideline.
Following offseason departures, Queta has assumed the starting center position for the Celtics. He has demonstrated significant growth this season, averaging 9.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game leading up to Sunday's contest.
