          Dunk of the postseason? Dunk of the postseason. The 2022 NBA playoffs rolled on Sunday night with the Golden State Warriors defeating the Dallas Mavericks 109-100 to take a 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference finals. But the story of the night was centered solely around Andrew Wiggins.

          More specifically, Wiggins' preposterous dunk over Luka Doncic. Wiggins, who scored a playoff career-high 27 points, took flight over Doncic midway through the fourth quarter for what was originally ruled an offensive foul. Golden State challenged, and the ruling was Wiggins' elbow to Doncic was incidental contact, giving the Warriors a 93-83 lead.

          The sports world immediately turned to Twitter to react to Wiggins putting Luka on a poster. Here's what everyone from Magic Johnson to Terrell Owens had to say about the moment. We also included an old Joel Embiid tweet that didn't age particularly well, because we're petty like that.
