LeBron James wasted little time getting things going on Sunday night during the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Atlanta Hawks. Less than a night after seeing his son have an amazing game for Sierra Canyon against his alma mater, LeBron showed out against a Hawks team that was playing above their record in the early going.
James was spectacular throughout the night and continued to erase his bad first half against the Miami Heat from Friday night, but none of the plays that he made on Sunday night were better than a between-the-legs pass to a cutting Dwight Howard for a monster slam dunk.

Howard, who is playing in his hometown of Atlanta, only had two points in the first half but his two points were as impactful as any bucket in the game as he completed what may have been the play of the year so far this season in the NBA.
The Lakers lead the Hawks 55-48 at halftime.
