Ryan YoungStaff writerTue, April 28, 2026 at 2:37 AM UTC·1 min readJamal Cain has a serious claim for Dunk of the Postseason, and we’re only in the first round of the playoffs.
The Orlando Magic forward, after bringing the ball up the court himself in the fourth quarter of their Game 4 matchup with the Detroit Pistons, threw down an absolutely violent one-handed dunk at the Kia Center.
Jalen Duren, who was knocked down under the rim trying to get in Cain’s way, never stood a chance.

The other angles of the poster are just as incredible.

That’s a dunk that Cain, and Duren by default, is going to remember for a long time.
Cain averaged 5.4 points and two rebounds per game this season off the bench for the Magic, who converted him to a standard deal last month after signing him to a two-way contract last July.
The Magic entered Monday’s game with a 2-1 lead in the series after stunning the top-seeded Pistons on the road in Game 1 and then picking up a 113-105 win in Game 3 on Saturday. The Magic have not won a playoff series since 2010.
