Rockets' Alperen Sengun puts Warriors' Draymond Green on insane poster with giant dunk

Oh my, Alperen Sengun.

The NBA world collectively gasped on Sunday night when the Rockets' Turkish center rolled down the lane for a pass from Jalen Green and took flight.

The normally crafty Sengun is often one to flip in little finesse finishes, but not this time.

This was an opportunity to set the tone at the start of a playoff series that TNT play-by-play guy Kevin Harlan said would be "a war."

Draymond Green was rising at the rim to meet Sengun. And Sengun was ready to show one of the best defenders in NBA history what he was made of.

Look out below, Draymond. Goodness.

That immediately becomes the best dunk of Sengun's career. No one had any idea that was in his bag.

Don't expect this to be the last Sengun-Green interaction, either. They're both instigators, and they'll often be guarding one another.

There'll be more physicality, likely more chatting and maybe some technical fouls.

But Sengun will always have this: To start the series, he dunked all over Green in a brilliant poster. That's how you set the tone.
