Cam slam.

Phoenix Suns wing Cam Johnson threw down an absolute slam in the third quarter of Sunday’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.

Johnson took off from just past the free throw line to posterize former Sun P.J. Tucker.

The play was reviewed for a potential charge, but the call of a block was upheld.

Johnson would convert from the charity stripe to make it an old-fashioned three-point play.

The Suns wing has 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting (62.5%), 10 of which came in the third period.

Johnson also has three rebounds and one block in over 16 minutes played.

Phoenix trails Milwaukee 85-76 with 2:37 to go in the quarter.

Catch all the action on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Suns Station.
