Watch: Kings' Cauley-Stein converts tough alley-oop

Ideally, an alley-oop pass would head to the rim, allowing its recipient to finish it off by simply leaping toward the ball.

On this possession Monday night at the Golden 1 Center, Sacramento Kings guard Darren Collison lobbed it up and teammate Willie Cauley-Stein needed to bring the ball back toward the basket in midair before hammering it home.

It was complicated, but it worked.
