The Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs wasted little time for their two main attractions to begin making attention-grabbing plays during Tuesday's matchup.
While Kevin Durant is the lone member of the Suns' "big three" currently healthy, he started things off going right at rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama just prior to halftime and throwing down a two-handed slam which the No. 1 overall pick couldn't get to in time.
But moments later, as the game clock was winding down, Wembanyama gave fans in Phoenix a moment they likely won't soon forget. As seen below, Durant's dunk was followed by Wemby putting Drew Eubanks on a poster with a vicious one-handed slam.

While it appeared initially that Durant had given Wembanyama a small "welcome to the NBA" moment, 7-foot-4 Wembanyama still managed to get the last laugh. He showed off a wide array of his skill set on the play, by first blowing past Durant on a drive and then throwing down the huge dunk.
