The Miami Heat are battling to come back in their 2018-19 season opener against the Orlando Magic, and halfway through the fourth quarter, Hassan Whiteside impressed the away crowd when he sent an alley-oop dunk emphatically through the basket.

So far, Whiteside has impressed both on the court and on the stat sheet with 12 points and 17 rebounds in the contest.
Goran Dragic, who sent the ball towards the basket for Whiteside to slam down, has enjoyed a strong performance as well. Dragic has logged 26 points, four rebounds, and four assists in the game thus far.
Hopefully Whiteside’s dunk proves enough to energize the rest of the Heat roster as they look to complete the comeback.
