Dunks And Drama For LeBron In Cavs' Loss
A fierce dunk and sideline spat between LeBron James and Tyronn Lue highlight the Cavaliers' loss to the Trail Blazers
LeBron James gave NBA fans everywhere possibly the best dunk of his career on Thursday, but the Cleveland Cavaliers were beaten.
The Cavaliers fell to the Trail Blazers 113-105 and the most notable thing to come out of the game was how Cleveland's star argued with his head coach.
In a game where Cleveland trailed from virtually the first quarter on, James was frustrated and his feelings boiled over in the second half when he was seen arguing with Tyronn Lue on the bench.
James finished the game with another 30-point performance as he put up 35 points in addition to 14 rebounds and six assists, but the short-handed Cavaliers were always playing from behind. Cleveland are now 39-29 this season and just a half game in front of the Wizards for the fourth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. James was also called for a technical foul in the final minute for kicking the ball away after a made free throw.
His dunk, however, was incredible.
It also cannot be lost that the Trail Blazers have now won 11 games in a row. CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard lit it up once again with 29 and 24 points respectively.
