I believe the answer is:

slam

(Other definitions for slam that I've seen before include "Criticise - attack" , "Winning of 12 or 13 tricks at bridge" , "Shut hard" , "Severely criticise; shut (a door) forcefully" , "Taking of twelve or thirteen tricks (bridge)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
