Kyrie Irving Threads the Needle, Finds Driving LeBron James for Layup

The first quarter of Game 5 in the Eastern Conference Finals saw the return of the relentless Cleveland Cavaliers.

Despite holding a 16-point lead over the Toronto Raptors with only about 15 seconds on the clock remaining, the squad took no plays off. 

That much was made evident when Kyrie Irving's pinpoint bounce pass threaded the needle between the defending Cory Joseph and Patrick Patterson to find a driving LeBron James.

Next came the finish: an easy left-handed layup by No. 23, who breezed passed four opponents on his path to the basket.

It seems that, in this series, the adage has never been truer: It's good to be home.
