In the first half of Game 5, LeBron James is already putting on an absolute show against the Bulls

Game 5 between the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers is underway here on Tuesday night, and with some believing that the Bulls’ backs are against the wall now that the series has shifted to Cleveland, LeBron James can smell blood in the water.

And when the best player in the league can smell blood in the water, that cannot be good for the opponent, as we saw in the second quarter.

With the Cavaliers making a run, watch below as LeBron takes the ball at the top of the key and proceeds to school the entire Bulls defense and get the lay-in.

I mean, they tried, kind of.

But when LeBron is on a roll like that to the hoop, the best course of action is probably to just let him be to do his thing and take care of business. No need to get in foul trouble by tying to prevent the inevitable.

The Bulls opened up Game 5 on a pretty nice run, but towards the end of the first half here the Cavaliers have really turned it on as they look to take a 3-2 lead.
