Kyrie Irving Fakes Out Brooklyn Defense in Drive to the Hoop

Kyrie Irving is good at improv. 

During the second quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Brooklyn Nets game on Friday, Irving faked a pass to LeBron James on his drive to the hoop, blowing past Brooklyn's defense for a successful layup.

Jeremy Lin swooped in at the last second to block his effort, but Irving quickly diverted the shot sideways, bouncing it off the backboard and into the net with ease, bringing the Cavs' lead up to 45-24.
