Bulls’ Ayo Dosunmu scored so fast that he was worried he dunked on the wrong basket

This all happened so fast that the Bulls guard even confused himself.

After the Chicago Bulls won the opening tipoff against the Portland Trail Blazers, 24-year-old guard Ayo Dosunmu was off to the races.

Bulls big Nikola Vucevic knocked the ball forward after the game began and Dosunmu chased it down as fast as he could. Before the scoreboard showed up on the TV broadcast for NBC Sports Chicago, the possession was over and Dosunmu had already thrown down a dunk to give the Bulls a 2-0 lead.

It all happened so fast that it was hard to process what had even happened:

After the game, even Dosunmu admitted that he was a bit confused by the series of events.

He shared that he was worried that he had accidentally gone the wrong way on the court and perhaps scored on the incorrect basket.

Ayo Dosunmu said he was so shocked his dunk was so open just 6 seconds after tipoff that he thought he might've shot at wrong basket.

Fortunately for Dosunmu and the Bulls, he hadn’t made a mistake but rather was in the right place at the right time.

This ultimately set the tone for a good game for Dosunmu and a nice win for Chicago over the Portland Trail Blazers.
