Only thing funnier than Doug McDermott's dunk? Jimmy Butler's reaction
The Washington Wizards had a really depressing Wednesday night, and not only because they blew an extremely winnable game against the Chicago Bulls. No, things were much darker than that.
How? Doug McDermott (yes, the Doug McDermott) dunked on Markieff Morris, Washington's high-profile acquisition from the trade deadline:
That's bad. What's worse? McDermott -- who entered the game with seven dunks in his entire career -- threw down more than once:

The second-year wing didn't hit a single 3, but finished with 14 points, 10 coming in the fourth quarter. His All-Star teammate, Jimmy Butler, had some thoughts on the shockingly athletic outing:
While this dunk was pretty damn impressive regardless of who threw it down, raise your hand if it didn't make your jaw drop. Few plays from this entire season have been stranger, but good for McDermott, who's starting to show he might be more than a one-dimensional spot-up threat.
The 24-year-old is shooting 43.6 percent behind the 3-point line and dropped 30 points on the Toronto Raptors earlier this week. It's a great sign for a Bulls team that badly needs their younger players to evolve sooner than later.
The dunk over Morris was only worth two points, but is something McDermott can smile about for the rest of his life.
