LeBron James, Kevin Durant Trade Monster Dunks Early in Cavs-Warriors Showdown

Cleveland Cavaliers starters LeBron James and Isaiah Thomas  came together for the first flashy highlight of Monday's much-anticipated showdown against the Golden State Warriors at Quicken Loans Arena. 

With 4:40 to play in the first quarter, James utilized a pick to break free toward the rim as Thomas handled the ball beyond the three-point line. 

The Cleveland guard spotted the three-time champion, and he tossed a pinpoint alley-oop that James deposited with a spectacular reverse dunk. 

Minutes later, Golden State forward Kevin Durant offered a response, as he sped down the court off a steal and delivered a thunderous one-handed slam as James conceded the two points to the 2017 NBA Finals MVP. 

It's often a slugfest when these clubs go at it.
