Rookie Ryan Dunn Soars Over Giannis for Poster Dunk, Ignites Suns’ Thrilling Comeback Win
Phoenix Suns rookie Ryan Dunn made headlines with a highlight-reel dunk over Giannis Antetokounmpo during the Suns’ 108-106 win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. With six minutes remaining in the third quarter, Collin Gillespie launched a long outlet pass to Devin Booker, who quickly fed Dunn in transition. The rookie capitalized on the opportunity, soaring over Antetokounmpo for a powerful slam that ignited the Phoenix crowd.
The dunk marked a turning point for the Suns, giving them their first lead since early in the second quarter. Milwaukee had built a nine-point advantage earlier in the game, but Dunn’s emphatic finish helped shift the momentum.
Dunn had one of his best performances of the season, contributing 12 points on an efficient 5-for-7 shooting while also grabbing nine rebounds in 30 minutes. Entering the matchup, he was averaging 6.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 17.8 minutes across 63 games in his rookie campaign.
