Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson proved again on Friday why he is regarded as one of the league's top throwdown artists.

In the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bulls at United Center in the NBA Cup, Johnson flew down the lane, drove past Josh Giddey, and went up for the nasty slam against Jalen Smith.

Aside from being a cool highlight, it was a crucial basket as well, as it sent the game to overtime, 110-110.
