Play of the Season? Warriors Rookie Jordan Bell Blocks Shot, Goes Off Backboard for β€˜And 1' Dunk

Here's hoping you didn't turn off the Golden State Warriors game early late Monday.

During the final minutes of regulation, Warriors rookie Jordan Bell blocked a shot to initiate a fast break. But what happened next set social media buzzing.

Teammate JaVale McGee tipped the blocked shot to deflect the ball toward Bell, who was running ahead of the pack. Bell in one motion gathered the ball in mid stride and threw the basketball off the backboard and caught it for a slam dunk that left teammates Steph Curry and Kevin Durant stunned.

Even better was Bell was fouled on the play. And oh, the Warriors won 133-103 over the Dallas Mavericks.
