LaVine Shows Off 360 Dunk In Timberwolves Loss

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minnesota Timberwolves second-year guard Zach LaVine will take any opportunity he can to show off his incredible athleticism.

LaVine has won the NBA's Slam Dunk Contest two straight years, and he showed off a dunk Monday night in a game against the Charlotte Hornets that's usually only reserved for the dunk contest stage.  With about five minutes left in the first half, LaVine was all alone in transition and threw down a 360-degree dunk. And he did it with ease.

It was one of seven shots he made on the night as LaVine finished with 19 points. Unfortunately for the Timberwolves, it came in a 108-103 loss as Minnesota dropped to 20-44 on the season.

Check out the dunk here.  As you would expect, it drew plenty of oohs and ahhhs from the crowd.
