Ayo Dosunmu Scores New Career-High With a Halfcourt Buzzer-Beater

AYO DOSUNMU IS UNCONSCIOUS.

The Chicago Bulls’ rookie hit a new career-high in ridiculous style on Monday night. After starting the game with a historic 9-9 performance from the field – which broke Orlando Woodridge’s franchise record for consecutive made baskets by a rookie – Dosunmu later ended the 3rd quarter with a beautiful halfcourt heave.

Flying right past forward Kenrich Williams, Dosunmu chucked it up and smacked it in off the glass.

I’m sure he called bank.

Dosunmu’s 24 points tonight have come on a 10-12 shooting performance. He has also dished out 8 assists and grabbed 5 rebounds as the Bulls hold a double-digit lead over the Thunder midway through the 4th quarter.
