VIDEOS: Mozgov crams two-hander over 2 Warriors, skies for one-handed alley-oop
During what's been a career renaissance in Cleveland after his mid-season trade to the Cavaliers, longtime NBA punchline and poster boy (not the good kind) Timofey Mozgov has delighted in turning the verb named for him on its head.
Lately, Mozgov has been Mozgov'ing fools far more often than he's been getting Mozgov'ed.
In Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors, in the first quarter, the Cavs center darted into the paint, took a feed from LeBron James, and finished with two hands over both Andrew Bogut and Draymond Green.
After Green and Bogut took turns exacting revenge in their own ways in the second quarter, Mozgov got back to business in the third, rising up to catch this Kyrie Irving lob and slamming it home with one hand.
