Lakers road trip ends with Lonzo and LeBron's first duel

CLEVELAND -- LeBron James was coming down the lane with a full head of steam. And the Los Angeles Lakers smartly stood to the side and watched James throw down a monster two-handed dunk.

Growing up watching James as much as he could, Lonzo Ball had seen James do this hundreds of times. He even tried mimicking James' power dunks as a youngster. Ball just got to see it live in person for the first time on Thursday night.

In his first game against Ball and the Lakers this season, James delivered his 59th career triple-double, tying Larry Bird on the all-time triple-doubles list while lifting the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 121-112 win over the Lakers.
