Over the three games of their playoff series versus the New Orleans Pelicans, it has been difficult to find bright spots for the Portland Trail Blazers. Center Ed Davis gave one with a mighty dunk during Game 1 of the series last Saturday night. Corbin Smith of Vice Sports awarded Davis the Dunk of the Week primarily for the sheer effort.
He snags one of the 13 boards he had in 20 minutes of action, using his good hands and a purity of will to cut through the chaos of being surrounded by three Pelicans.
