Shaun Livingston did not hold back at all.

Early in the second quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers were leading the Golden State Warriors. In their halfcourt offense, Livingston found a lane, and on his way up, he found Richard Jefferson, and punched in a vicious dunk over the veteran forward:

The Oracle Arena crowd became as loud as ever, after already being hyped up with the absence of Draymond Green, and a potential second-consecutive championship on the line tonight.

Shaun Livingston’s impact has been big for the Warriors all season, but it has especially seemed that way this postseason, as he’s come up big for them when they’ve needed it most. With the Cavs quieting the Oracle crowd for a moment during the second quarter as they took the lead, that was the lift that they needed to get back into it.

This dunk will certainly be on his career highlight reel.
