“LeBron James Struggles with Playoff Shooting: A Concerning Trend Emerges”

GOAT LeBron James’s playoff shooting struggles in the fourth quarter have become a notable concern, as highlighted by a viral statistic. In the recent game, James performed below his usual standards by going 0-for-3 from beyond the arc and scoring only six points. This followed his 0-for-2 performance from three-point range and a solitary field goal in the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ Game 1 defeat.

Throughout the post season, James has encountered difficulties with his three-point shooting in the final quarter. Despite making his first fourth quarter three against Memphis in Game 1 weeks ago, the seasoned player has since missed his last 19 attempts from beyond the arc in the final quarter, as reported by ESPN.

In terms of overall performance, James had a three-point shooting percentage of 32.1% during the regular season, marking his lowest rate since the 2015–16 season. However, in the playoffs, his shooting percentage has dropped significantly to a mere 23.3% from deep, including a struggling 1-for-20 record in the final quarter.

As the series moves to Los Angeles for Game 3, the Lakers, currently trailing 2-0, will be looking to bounce back. To mount a successful comeback, James will need to rediscover his shooting form from deep, particularly late in games.
