breakaway dunk
Uncontested basket finish
A breakaway dunk is a basketball play where a player gets the ball in the open court with no defenders between them and the basket, allowing an uncontested slam dunk.
The term emphasizes the separation from opponents: He stole the pass and finished with an easy breakaway dunk.
These plays often become highlight-reel moments because the player has time to add flair.
