It's a dunk installment for this week's top five highlights. 

High fliers littered the highlight reels this past week and were recognized for their impressive displays of athleticism. 

5. Tobias Harris crowns MKG

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist wishes he could have a mulligan. Next time, step aside and let Tobias Harris take care of his business.

Nice bounce pass from Victor Oladipo off the inbounds feed, too. 

4. Griffin, Jordan hook up for alley-oop

Blake Griffin played the part of Chris Paul and hooked up DeAndre Jordan with a lob pass at the basket. Jordan took care of the rest, as his aggressive one-handed finish completed another Los Angeles Clippers' alley-oop. 

3. Vintage Vince Carter

We're going to find a way to show Vince Carter some love any time the 37-year-old turns back the clock and throws down with authority - and he did just that against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. 

Carter showed off his handles by crossing up Wilson Chandler before flying above the rim to crown rookie Jusuf Nurkic

2. Goodwin puts Valanciunas on a poster

Archie Goodwin symbolized the Phoenix Suns' blowout win over the Toronto Raptors by posterizing center Jonas Valanciunas

Goodwin soared in the air before stuffing home the one-handed jam. 

1. Acy goes behind back, finishes with monster slam

There have been more lowlights than highlights in an abysmal season for the 5-31, injury-riddled New York Knicks

But Quincy Acy gave Knicks fans some temporary relief before New York went on to drop its 11th consecutive game Sunday. 

In addition to the vicious slam on Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 6-foot-7 forward deserves credit for picking off point guard Brandon Knight's pass and then going behind the back to leave him in the dust. 

Honorable mention: Rondo excels in return to Boston

Rajon Rondo made his return to Boston to face the Celtics for the first time since he was shipped off to the Dallas Mavericks in December. The point guard didn't disappoint, pouring in a season-high 29 points to lead the Mavericks to victory. 

Rondo received a touching video tribute after dropping 15 points on the Celtics in the first quarter and finished with a career-high five 3-pointers.
