Richard Jefferson throws down lob (Video)

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson turned back the clock and threw down a lob on the Toronto Raptors in Game 5.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson has turned back the clock and looked like the Jefferson that used to make big plays in the NBA. Against the Toronto Raptors in Game 5 on Wednesday night, Jefferson was making big plays again for the Cavaliers when they needed him to.

After the Cavaliers had an offensive explosion in the first quarter against Toronto, the Raptors played a little bit better in the second quarter. With LeBron James on the court, Jefferson assumed the role of arbitrary dunk artist, as he slammed home a lob from James.

It’s been a while since Jefferson has been able to get up for a dunk like this, but it’s certainly what the Cavaliers have needed from him while he’s on the floor. After a poor two games in Toronto, the Cavaliers came out with a lot more energy against Toronto in Game 5.

Jefferson helped contribute big energy off the bench as well. He’s a renaissance man out on the court right now.
