LeBron James had another strong performance on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Lakers took down a short-handed Brooklyn Nets side in Barclays Center, 106-96. This game marked Anthony Davis' first time back after over a month on the sidelines due to an injury but in the end, it was LeBron who once again took headlines for his remarkable effort against the Nets.

The Lakers were pretty comfortable for the most part of the contest, but the Nets were trying to make a game out of it in the fourth period. LeBron made sure this was not going to be the case as he come out with back-to-back fastbreak dunks to secure the victory for the Lakers (h/t NBA on TNT on Twitter):

LeBron had a clear path to the basket not once, but twice, and he made sure to put on a bit of a show for the fans in attendance. It was also James who came up with the defensive stops on back-to-back plays and he finished with absolute authority on the opposite side of the floor.

LeBron finished the game with 33 points on 14-of-21 shooting to go along with seven rebounds, six assists, three steals, two blocks, and zero turnovers in 34 minutes of play. LA has now won two out of their last three games in what is going currently a six-game road spell for LeBron and Co.
