Research Notes
|
Kevin Love (CLE): didn’t play in the 4th quarter. The Magic shot 5-21 FG (23.8%) in the 4th quarter. They were shooting 31-52 (59.6%) in the first 3 quarters.
|
|
LeBron James outscored the Magic in the 4th quarter by himself, 15-14.
|
|
With the news that Kyrie Irving is out Friday due to a knee bruise… As we might expect, LeBron James has been a higher-usage player with Kyrie Irving off the floor this season, attempting over four more shots per 40 minutes. But despite the higher usage, James is actually scoring at a lower rate without Irving, as his efficiency has dropped off significantly so far this season.
