Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James chased down Jae Crowder for a block and then threw down a huge dunk of his own.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to find a groove and show that they’re just as good as the rest of the championship contenders, while the Boston Celtics are red hot and ascending in the Eastern Conference standings. The two teams met in Cleveland on Saturday night, and LeBron James was making big moves on both ends of the floor for the Cavaliers.

As Celtics forward Jae Crowder came down the court in transition, it looked like he was going to have the easy layup. Using his incredible speed and athleticism, James got up and swatted Crowder’s shot away.

The Celtics would recover the rebound and Crowder would miss another shot, which led to James getting the ball with a full head of steam and splitting the Celtics defense for a monster dunk.

The Celtics got the jump on the Cavaliers early and James was trying to energize his team on both ends of the floor. The chase down block by James is vintage LeBron and this swat was certainly one of his biggest yet.

Capping it off with a vintage slam made the sequence of basketball by James all the more better.
