Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James battled inside with San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan for a tough hoop.

Any time LeBron James battles Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs, it’s always must-see basketball. With the Cleveland Cavaliers back in San Antonio for a rematch of last year’s epic regular season game, all eyes were going to be on the superstars of both teams.

With some of the best talent in the league and both teams playing their best for this game, highlights were to be had on multiple occasions. James was leading the highlights charge for the Cavaliers per usual.

With James working inside down low, he went up against his counterpart in Duncan on a play. James  went up strong, got the contact on the elbow, made the shot and earned himself a trip to the line.

Anytime these two basketball behemoths come together, big things are going to happen. James got the better of Duncan this time, but rest assured, Duncan will get his own as well down at the other end.

Last year’s game produced a classic that saw a big shot by Kyrie Irving to win. The Spurs are trying to hold onto their 31-game home winning streak since.

There’s no better reason to watch a game than this.
