It was the dawn of a new era for Cleveland Cavaliers basketball on Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls, as Tyronn Lue worked his first game as the new head coach of the team following the dismissal of David Blatt on Friday.
While the man calling the plays from the sidelines for Cleveland was different, the play of four-time league MVP LeBron James remained the same, especially on the defensive end.
During the opening moments of the first quarter, "The King" reminded everyone how spectacular his blocks can be when he swatted Derrick Rose's layup attempt off the backboard:
