The Atlanta Hawks were down big at the half against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, but Evan Turner somehow sneaked in a highlight play at the expense of LeBron James.

Turner drove to the lane and was met by James at the three-and-a-half minute mark of the second quarter in their match inside Staples Center.

James, who assumed Turner was going right, got dropped to the floor as the Hawks swingman used a nifty behind the back dribble to evade the four-time MVP.

Turner completed the highlight, finishing a difficult right-handed lay-up over Dwight Howard.

Now playing for his fifth NBA team since being drafted second overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2010, Turner has struggled to get consistent minutes in Atlantaā€™s bench, averaging 5.8 points, 2.0 boards, 2.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in four games played this season.
