On Thursday night, LeBron James did not play up to his normal standard in the fourth quarter, going 0-for-3 from deep and scoring just six points. That was after he went 0-for-2 from three-point range and scored just one field goal in the fourth quarter of the Lakers’ Game 1 loss.
James’s shooting struggles from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter have been an issue all postseason long. After making his first fourth quarter three against Memphis in Game 1 of the playoffs weeks ago, the veteran has missed his last 19 threes in the final quarter, according to ESPN.
