VIDEO: LeBron hits Love with outlet for reverse jam, Irving does same for LeBron

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

LeBron James' running mates with the Cleveland Cavaliers don't have a lot of playoff experience, little as that's seemed to matter through two games.

What they're not lacking in is alley-oop experience, with playoff freshman Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving each connecting with James for emphatic highlights in the third quarter on Tuesday.

First, it was James and Love reversing roles, with James hitting Love in stride for a half-court alley-oop pass and Love slamming it home with an impressive two-handed reverse:

Just moments later, the Cavs leaked out in transition once again. James found Irving, seemingly freeing him for a clear path dunk, but Irving opted to throw a perfect lob for James. James doesn't exactly make mistakes with those kind of opportunities.

The Boston Celtics gave the Cavaliers a good fight in the first half but there's little they can do when James and company decide to make things into a track meet.
