Early in Tuesday night's Game 3, Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen threw down a slam for the ages. The series against the Philadelphia 76ers is tied at a game apiece, so emotions are running high in Brooklyn. One of Allen's teammates, Shabazz Napier, was particularly fired up about the dunk. Unfortunately, he accidentally took it out on Rondae Hollis-Jefferson on the bench. Via Shaqtin' a Fool on Twitter.

Napier stood up quickly to celebrate the slam. But his left elbow flew out and instantly connected with Hollis-Jefferson's jaw. Hollis-Jefferson was later seen with ice but appeared to be okay. The Nets certainly hope both players are uninjured. They were two of Brooklyn's most productive players in their Game 2 loss. The pair combined for 28 points, six rebounds and two assists in just 29 minutes off the bench.

And the Nets will need all the help they can get. The third-seed Sixers are the heavy favorites in the first round match-up. However, Brooklyn has been playing tough so far, and won't go down without a fight. The underdogs will need a bit of magic, as well as continued production from the bench, to move on to the second round.

The team still has a chance to win a pivotal Game 3 at home. At halftime, they trail the Sixers 65-59. Allen already has 12 points, six rebounds, and an assist. Napier and Hollis-Jefferson have yet to make it onto the court.
