NBA – Los Angeles’ two stars couldn’t find their mark in Game 2, going 13/34 from the field with a dismal 1/9 from beyond the arc. However, their confidence remains. The only 3-point shot made by the duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, scored by Davis on a pass from James at the end of the fourth quarter, lifted the spirits of Los Angeles in the “money time” of this second game against Denver. A few moments later, Davis had another chance to strike in the same position, but missed. This was symbolic of the huge clumsiness of the two stars in Game 2. LeBron James, who was nursing an ankle injury, finished 9/19 from the field and an abysmal 0/6 from 3-point range. Anthony Davis, on the other hand, had a shooting percentage of 4/15 and 1/3 from beyond the arc. “I liked our shooting positions in this game,” said the former Pelicans player, who had 18 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 blocks, to ESPN. “Most of them were just short. I will keep taking those shots. I have to be more efficient to help the team. So, I will be better.” For LeBron James, the problem is deeper. The 2020 Finals MVP has an awful 0/10 from 3-point range after two games against the Nuggets. Apart from his lack of precision, which has been a constant for him this season (with only a 32% success rate), the former Cleveland player takes complicated and probably too fast shots. “He was open, and he’s an excellent 3-point shooter, so he takes his chances,” says Darvin Ham. Austin Reaves adds that, “He can shoot as much as he wants. He’s LeBron James. I don’t think anyone on the team is surprised when he takes a shot. We want him to take the shots he wants.” The problem is that LeBron James and Anthony Davis weren’t the only ones who were very clumsy from long range in this game. Austin Reaves was the only one who was dangerous in this exercise with his 5/9, as the rest of the Lakers shot 3/21 from beyond the arc, including a combined 1/8 for the Russell/Schroder duo…
