Trayce Jackson-Davis continues to make highlight-reel plays during his rookie season with the Golden State Warriors.

Wednesday, it was against two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the second-place Milwaukee Bucks.

Antetokounmpo grabbed the loose ball and went up for a reverse layup, but Jackson-Davis swatted his shot off the backboard to kickstart the Warriors' possession. Golden State point guard Steph Curry drove the lane, then lobbed the ball to Jackson-Davis for a thunderous alley-oop dunk.
