James had eight points, five rebounds and one assist while shooting 4/8 from the field in his first 10 mintues of playing time.

@BronGotGame "LeBron has had too many recent aggressive dunks in a half court setting, it’s like he’s not even 40"

Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet: "LeBron got the matchup he wanted in Luke Kornet to the perimeter on a switch, and blew by him for an emphatic right-handed dunk to put LA up 34-23 after 1.

LeBron had 8 points with 4 boards, Davis 9 and 4, and Reaves 8 with 3 assists."

@DaxGotFacts: "LeBron just punched that quarter ending dunk HARD"

LeBron closes the 1st on a STRONG note!

LAL up on BOS 34-23."
