Darius Bazley

With the second quarter clock ticking toward zero, Luka Dončić figured he would hold the ball for one final look before halftime. Darius Bazley had other ideas. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s fourth-year big man displays his fearlessness on the defensive end, refusing to back down on the Dallas star’s drive, authoritatively rejecting the dunk attempt. Bazley’s clean block, along with 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench, allowed the Thunder to prevail 117-111 in overtime on October 29, 2022.
