They did achieve this, but Hansen cut back hard toward the basket.
At that point the Warriors' stretched-out defense couldn't get back in time.
As Hansen reached out, Irving also sent a long alley-oop pass.
The pass was slightly overthrown, but Hansen leapt and pulled the ball back in mid-air, then performed maximum arc crescent-moon alley-oop slam.
"Bang!"
The moment the ball was slammed into the hoop, even the Oracle Arena erupted in a chorus of amazement.
As is well known, the prerequisite for a historic dunk is an imperfect pass.
The Warriors players were all stunned, especially Curry, who kept looking up at the LED screen replay, the envy in his eyes impossible to hide.
Walton didn't call a timeout, because Hansen was on fire from the outside, and he could accept this kind of scoring over letting him continue to shoot threes.
Interestingly, right after the Warriors advanced quickly to the frontcourt, Malone also waved his hand to spread out the Cavaliers' defense.
