With the Los Angeles Lakers already down double-digits late in the first quarter on Wednesday, LeBron James put his head down and drove to the cup, looking to salvage a smidgen of momentum heading into the quarter break.
Awaiting him at the rim was the Philadelphia 76ers' hulking Joel Embiid, who swatted away what looked to be an easy two for James, sparking a transition opportunity that former Laker Danny Green completed with a 3 from the top of the key to put Philly up by 16.
It was the type of sequence that could make anyone watching talk themself into the Sixers as a legitimate contender this season.
