UMass Lowell player misses dunk, shatters backboard
The UMass Lowell River Hawks played a basketball game Tuesday night against Wheelock College. The 104-76 win wouldn’t normally make news, but a missed dunk by River Hawks forward Dontavious Smith certainly has.
Smith shattered the backboard on his breakaway dunk attempt late in the first half, as seen in the clip below.

Play was stopped, and the teams actually had to go into halftime a little early while a new hoop was procured.
