The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves played a very exciting game at Target Center on Friday evening. These two teams have had some great battles over the years, including in last season’s Western Conference semifinals.

Minnesota defeated the Nuggets in seven games last season, and Denver entered this contest hoping for a victory over their conference rivals in the rematch. Although the Nuggets did not get a win in this game, falling by a final score of 119-116, Denver guard Christian Braun had one of the plays of the season.

Braun rose for a poster dunk on four-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert and threw down the two-handed slam that led to double technical fouls on him and Gobert.

This dunk goes viral on social media, with several major sporting goods stores posting the highlight reel of the game.

Via NBA: “CHRISTIAN BRAUN DETONATION😱😱😱 COME TO ESPN FOR THE FINISH!”

Braun’s teammates immediately ran to defend him after Gobert made contact with the 23-year-old guard. When deciding on double technical fouls, the officiating team did not award free throws to either team because the technicians eliminated each other.

“OH MYYYY DON’T JUMP CB,” the Nuggets captioned their post of this dunk.

The NBA world has been buzzing since this highlight from Braun, and while the season is still very young, this will likely be one of the best dunks of the year when this season is over.
