Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James was involved in an odd incident during their 108-103 Game Two loss in Denver against the Nuggets when the NBA's all-time leading scorer missed a wide-open dunk by trying to get too creative.
With under eight minutes remaining in the second quarter and the Lakers leading 40-32, center Anthony Davis denied Nuggets guard and former LA teammate Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on a drive to the rim. Dennis Schroder corralled the resulting rebound and quickly passed it on to Rui Hachimura, who instigated the fast break.
James sprinted out from the group and received the ball behind the back of Denver center Nikola Jokic, the furthest player back, before driving at the rim.
