LeBron James took flight for a ferocious one-handed slam over 7-foot-1 center Luke Kornet during a Los Angeles Lakers loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

With an open trip down the lane, James gathered speed like the freight train of old. He didn't appear bothered one bit by the presence of the gigantic Luke Kornet awaiting at the rim for the San Antonio Spurs. James, who turns 41 in three weeks, rose up and thundered down a poster dunk, no questions asked.

LeBron James downplayed his poster dunk over San Antonio Spurs big man Luke Kornet as the Los Angeles Lakers weren't able to build on it.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Phoenix Suns 138-89 to advance to the semifinals of the NBA Cup. The win also moves the Thunder to 24-1 on the season, equalling the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors’ record for the best start to a campaign through 25 games.

However, despite the energy, the Lakers struggled heavily against the Spurs. San Antonio played without Victor Wembanyama, who has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a left calf strain. Yet the Lakers still found themselves outmatched.
