When it comes to the Atlanta Hawks this 2017-18 NBA regular season, there hasn't been very much for fans to smile about lately. Fortunately, during their game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night at Philips Arena, center Miles Plumlee gave Hawks fans reason to stand up and plenty to cheer about.
Early in the first quarter with Atlanta leading the Indiana Pacers by a score of 6-5, Hawks forward Ersan Ilyasova connected a perfect bounce pass to Plumlee who promptly threw down a two-handed reverse slam dunk around Pacers center Myles Turner.
A video of the exciting play, which was posted afterward on the NBA's official Twitter account, can be viewed in all of its glory down below.
