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&#8217; Game 1 defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u201316 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James has encountered difficulties with his three-point shooting in the final quarter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":true,"_kad_post_footer":true,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":726,"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724\/revisions\/726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americantidings.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
