Basketball
March 28, 1995: In his first game back from his first retirement, and wearing his baseball number 45, Jordan showed that he still had his old touch, going for 55 points on 21 of 37 shooting. But this game would be won on a pass and not a shot. Jordan’s second assist of the game set up a dunk in the closing seconds that provided the Chicago Bulls with the winning margin in a 113-111 victory.

faire un smash
WIKIPEDIA
Le slam dunk ou smash, plus couramment appelé """dunk""", est une action de jeu (réalisée la première fois par George Mikan) au basket-ball qui consiste à marquer en projetant le ballon dans l'arceau, à une ou deux mains. Le dunk est une des manières les plus spectaculaires de marquer un panier.

a permis de marquer/un dunk
I am no expert on basketball, but the ST clearly states that Jordan gave an "assist" (une passe décisive), which 'set up' (mettre en place, permettre) a dunk. In other words he made it possible for a team-mate to score.

Writeaway is right when he says a native French speaker would perhaps come up with another term.
I have found "préparation" Préparation du tir=setting up of the throw
Here: http://www.sportquick.com/articles/basketball-000007/lexique...
In that case it would be "préparer un dunk" but I eagerly await confirmation!

writeaway
: this is certainly the idea/meaning but perhaps a (native) French speaker who knows basketball terminology might come up with another way to express it.

I agree: I found "passe décisive" for "assist", but have so far come up with nothing convincing as a specific term for set up... Thanks writeaway :-)
