On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Utah Jazz (at home).

During the second half, LeBron James threw down a dunk that got a lot of views on social media.

James had 20 points, one rebound and ten assists while shooting 7/13 from the field and 1/5 from the three-point range in his first 23 minutes of playing time.

Via The NBA: "THROW IT DOWN BRON!
