Watch: LeBron hammers home Irving's alley-oop feed on the break

Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers served notice early in Game 6 that home-court advantage would not act as the salve it's been for the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference finals so far.

The Cavs got going in the first quarter Friday night the way they've gotten going in all their games in Cleveland: by forcing turnovers and burning the Raptors in transition. After a strip at the defensive end, James and Kyrie Irving got out on the break, and Irving threw it up for James over a helpless DeMar DeRozan.

James finished it off with an act of violence against the rim.
