Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges caught another body on Sunday. The 23-year-old high-flyer hosted a dunk party at the expense of CJ McCollum and the visiting Portland Trail Blazers at Spectrum Center.
With the Hornets holding on to a double-digit lead right before halftime, Bridges decided to extend that advantage with another possible Dunk of the Year candidate. After getting past Carmelo Anthony outside the 3-point area, the 6-foot-6 forward blitzed to the lane and did what he does best.
Bridges gathered his step and took off from outside the restricted area for another thunderous right-handed hammer. McCollum had no chance blocking his dunk attempt, while Jusuf Nurkic only stood there and watched his teammate get posterized.
Here's Bridges' slam which once again got Hornets commentator Eric Collins all riled up.

Another game, another poster for Miles Bridges. It wasn't that long ago when Bridges skied over Clint Capela of the Atlanta Hawks for one of the best dunks of the season. By the looks of it, he has more facials to serve in the coming games.
Apart from terrorizing opposing teams with his unreal athleticism, Bridges has been an important part of the Hornets' core this season. In 55 games this season, the Michigan State alum has been averaging 11.3 points on 51 percent shooting from the field along with 5.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists in around 28 minutes per game for the Hornets.
As of writing this the Hornets lead the Trail Blazers and Bridges has 19 points.
