Some big dunks and a headband-less LeBron graced the NBA last night

Basketball’s biggest star looks a little different as his Cavaliers attempt to build momentum for the play-offs.

THINGS ARE HOTTING up in the NBA as teams around America attempt to build some momentum to carry them through to next month’s play-offs.

This new, cool-foreheaded LeBron created a surprising amount of chatter. Fortunately ESPN were on the case.

James also got himself embroiled in a basketball game as the Cavaliers steam-rolled the Dallas Mavericks 127 – 94. This drive to the net was the pick of James’ 27 points.

James had nothing on Kawhi Leonard, who threw down a massive dunk in the Spurs’ 117 – 107 win over the Raptors.

This five-point play from Dante Exum – blocking a three-point shot and getting on the end of the counter-attack – was excellent too, and proved to be the difference as Utah Jazz beat the Knicks 87-82 to bring their modest winning streak to three.
