Mario Hezonja's dunk was Monday's summer-league play of the day

Orlando Magic rookie Mario Hezonja caught the ball above the upper left edge of the 3-point arc and accelerated toward the lane, blowing by a defender.

Hezonja hesitated slightly just as he crossed the free-throw line, and then he accelerated again.

He elevated and dunked the ball emphatically as the Oklahoma City Thunder's Richard Solomon hit him with a forearm in the face.

The sequence was the play of the day Monday at the Orlando Pro Summer League.

"He doesn't back down from physical play," Magic assistant coach Monte Mathis said.
