Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine took flight for a 360-degree breakaway dunk during a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The high-flying stunt came in the first quarter of the Bulls' 99-98 victory on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. LaVine broke up a pass intended for Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson on the play.

He then chased down the loose ball and went coast-to-coast. LaVine took a step inside the paint and picked up his dribble, pumping the ball in both hands while spinning in midair. He then threw down the bucket with authority as he completed a full turn.

LaVine scored a game-high 24 points, with eight rebounds and five assists in the victory. Thompson led the Cavaliers with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

The Bulls guard is averaging a career-high 27.2 points per game this season. The Bulls host the Dallas Mavericks at 8 p.m. on Monday in Chicago.
