Watch DeMar DeRozan Dunk All over Timofey Mozgov's Face
With the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets in the throes of a fast-paced game Tuesday night in Toronto, you knew a lot of acrobatics would be in store for the evening.
Both teams boast high-flying wings galore, and the fast pace and the penchant that both teams can have for turnovers at times has been leading to fast breaks and a ton of fun for everybody involved (well, for the most part).
Pair that with each team's wealth of young, inexperienced big men and you've got yourself a recipe for a dunk targeted directly at someone's face.
In this particular situation, it was DeMar DeRozan driving his way into Timofey Mozgov's chest, as the 7'1" Mozgov found himself in a familiar situation.

"After watching the replays...oh my. Yes, that DeRozan POSTER on Mozgov was nasssssty.

"YESSSSS!!!! DeMar DeRozan just gave new life to my Twitter handle! @nbaguru @netw3rk

"Tina Fey is fine, Tinafey Mozgov's ego is not.

Say what you will about Mozgov being habitually posterized, but at least he doesn't shy away from the challenges—taking the punishment full on instead. Call him a modern-day Shawn Bradley in the nicest way possible.
