Kyrie Irving finds LeBron James for alley-oop (Video)

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving found LeBron James for a huge alley-oop in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers once again found themselves in an early deficit in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Toronto Raptors. While the Raptors ran away with the game in Game 3, the Cavaliers cut the deficit and quickly worked their way back into it in Game 4 on Monday night.

It all started when Kyrie Irving found LeBron James for an open alley-oop. Sucking in defenders with his dribbling, Irving noticed James left all alone and threw up an alley-oop to the open James.

James would then slam down the lob in style with one hand and get his team energized on the floor.

After a poor Game 3 performance, it was imperative that Irving came out much better and got his team involved. When he’s helping carry the load and is forcing defenders to collapse onto him, it allows for bigger things to happen like James’ dunk.

That’s what happened here and it paid off in dividends for the Cavaliers. Whether or not they can keep Bismack Biyombo off the boards is another story.
