Daeqwon Plowden only played six games for the Atlanta Hawks, but undrafted players who are fighting to secure a rotation spot next season do not usually need a strong reason to take the court with a chip on their shoulder. The former Bowling Green standout wanted to make his old NBA employer regret trading him to the Phoenix Suns last offseason. He certainly got State Farm Arena's attention during Saturday's game.
Plowden caught a pass from Devin Carter in transition and unloaded an emphatic jam a few minutes into the second quarter. Corey Kispert was the defender, but he appeared to step out of harm's way when it became clear that nothing could stop the 6-foot-4 wing. Plowden only has five points for the game, but those are two he will likely remember and savor for some time.
