LeBron James puts down epic dunk late against Warriors (Video)
Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James put down a powerful dunk late against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day.
When the Cleveland Cavaliers had a huge deficit to cut against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, they called upon their leader to take charge. When LeBron James came back into the game against the Warriors in the fourth quarter, the team came alive.
With the Cavaliers able to tie the game late, it was James that gave the team the lead and a chance to win the game. As Kyrie Irving cut to the hoop and the Warriors collapsed on him, James drove to the hoop with no one on him and took the pass en route to an amazing dunk that woke everyone in Cleveland up.
James would hang on the rim and add a little extra emphasis after just to cap off the big slam. While the Warriors wanted a technical for James hanging on the rim, it was a reminder that no one should ever leave him open near the rim without anyone in his way.
In fact, it might not even matter if someone was in his way as he would go right over them for the dunk. Christmas Day was full of highlight plays between these two teams and this dunk by James was the topping for Cleveland.
Irving would hit the winning shot for Cleveland yet again to cap off a Christmas comeback and the Warriors collapsed late yet again. If this is a preview of things to come between the two teams, then the potential for a great NBA Finals exists.
