LeBron James had an impressive first half of Game 2 in Denver — 10 points, six assists, five rebounds while being the ball handler in a lot of pick-and-rolls — but he had one rare moment that had everyone shaking their head.

LeBron fumbled the ball out of bounds on a wide-open dunk attempt.

Even Donovan Mitchell was shocked by the play.

The Lakers led by five at the half in a grinding, physical game with plenty of whistles.
