LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are on a mission in Game 2 against the Phoenix Suns. They stare down at a 1-0 deficit and falling 2-0 would prove to be a huge hurdle in their quest for a repeat title.

LeBron James has just 10 points in the first half for the Lakers, but 40% of them came on two massive throwdowns.

Check them out below to see for yourself.

The first came off a scrambling play, taking advantage of a Suns turnover for a wide open runway for King James.

James got some help from his running mate Anthony Davis. LeBron went way up for a one-handed detonation at the rim via an alley-oop pass from AD.

 

 

The Lakers have put in a team effort in trying to take Game 2, as they already have four players in double-figures in the 1st half. LeBron James' 10 points in the first half weren't too gaudy, but Davis, Andre Drummond, and Dennis Schroder all were in double-figures at the halftime break.

The Phoenix Suns pose probably the biggest threat against LeBron James' immaculate 14-0 record in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. The Lakers need to find their championship form if they want to keep James' streak alive.
