Through the first quarter of Game 2 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, it is crystal clear that LeBron James had brought his A-game.
Already with three makes from behind the arc, King James launched one from deep. It clanked on the front of the rim and appeared to be a miss, but an incredible bounce put the ball right through the hoop.
He continued his offensive onslaught, scoring 21 of the first 27 points for the Cavaliers while dropping miracle shots like this.

It’s safe to say James isn’t taking a passive approach to Game 2.
We repeat … this guy!

Everyone is watching LeBron’s 1st quarter dominance in awe. Including his teammates, apparently.

This is a classic “oh you forgot I’m Lebron James” game.

Yet for all of LeBron James’ efforts, the Cavaliers only led by four points after the first quarter. Looks like James might need to score 100 tonight to push his team to a win, after all.

Lebron setting all kinds of personal postseason records in the first quarter and Celtics are within 4..
