Phoenix Suns’ Gerald Green passes to self for awesome dunk

Dec 1, 2014, 5:55 PM | Updated: 6:24 pm

The Phoenix Suns tallied 22 assists in their 93-90 loss to the Orlando Magic Sunday night, with forward Markieff Morris leading the way with seven.

Coming off the bench, Gerald Green had one. Though his best pass of the night wasn’t it.

No, his best pass of the night was off the backboard to himself. It led to an awesome dunk, which not only gave the Suns a 36-34 lead, but Green the “dish” of the night.
