(2) Rondo To Gay Alley-Oop: With 10 ½ minutes left in the third quarter, Sacramento were leading Utah 59-47. With Rajon Rondo dribbling near the half court line, he noticed Rudy Gay going around a DeMarcus Cousins screen. As a result, Rondo lobbed a pass to the hoop where only Gay was able to catch it. Fortunately, Gay was able to snatch the ball with two hands in the air and dunk it in one motion.

What made this play special was the pass from the Rondo. He had very little room for error in order for Gay to receive his pass. Fortunately, for Sacramento, they have one of the best if not the best passer in the NBA in Rondo that continues to make unbelievable passes on a gamely basis (video here/played at 0:20).
