Thought I'd start this early to give a better chance of remembering the plays. Some contenders:
Abercrombie's drive and jam to open scoring
Ogilvy's dunk on Abercrombie
Abercrombie's buzzer-beating alley-oop

Shame Ogilvy spoiled Charles Jackson's dunk attempt as that could've been big.
Cedric Jackson field goal, 3 point or free throw attempt.

Re. Isaac's comment (and sorry to digress the thread a little), that is a major frustration for me, there should be a gentleman's agreement that allow these high-flyers to do their thing, instead of fouling them for 2 shots and risking injury to them. It is the type of entertainment the league needs to encourage. It's generally only a couple of plays a game so I don't think it would have a major impact to the results.

Yeah, was wondering the same. Unless you have a clean chance at the block, don't go for the thuggish foul.
And same with coaches adjusting their game a bit to give the league headlines. So, leave Penney out there to go for 40, or push the pace late to crack 100 points, or go for triple doubles, etc. Obviously where the result is mostly decided.

I just thought at the time that Ogilvy's attempt was average at best and if he had connected more solidly or Jackson had been injured then there would have likely been an ejection.
It was just careless and I didn't like it one bit!
