Body language tells all
Not only was this a good call - aggressively pulls down on the rim, swings feet up, hangs there even though no one is close to being underneath him, let's rim snap back up in dramatic fashion - but after he returns to the floor he poses for the crowd with a quick fist pump to boot. Clearly the dunk was more for show than necessity. He didn't cross the line for a taunting T here but got real close to it. Together with the dunk it is more than enough evidence to support the officials judgement that a T for the dunk was warranted here.
