WATCH: LeBron, Cavs set the tone early in Game 1 with this emphatic off-the-glass oop
Kyrie Irving lobbed it up off the glass to a charging James in Game 1 against the Raptors
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven't played since April 15, but it didn't take them long to find their rhythm in Game 1 Monday night against the Toronto Raptors.
Just a few minutes into the start of their second-round series with Toronto, LeBron James came flying into a passing lane, deflecting the ball away from Serge Ibaka, and getting it over to his teammate, Kyrie Irving, and starting the fastbreak.
As Irving pushed the ball out ahead, LeBron -- though he was just past halfcourt -- told him what to do, pointing to the sky in expectation of an alley-oop. Irving complied, but not in the traditional way, as he tossed the ball up off the backboard, right into the path of a charging LeBron, who caught it with one hand, and flushed it through the hoop.

That is certainly one way to get Game 1 started.
