Celtics have wrapped up LeBron through first two games
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James swished a few uncontested 20-foot jump shots. He made layups, finger rolls, 3-pointers and free throws — a few left-handed. He even worked on a few trick shots in a friendly game of ‘‘P-I-G.’’
On Friday, James hardly missed.
It’s so easy when the Boston Celtics aren’t around.
Cleveland’s superstar looked relaxed and upbeat on Friday as he and the Cavaliers, down 0-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, studied film and shot around while trying to figure out how to solve Boston’s boa-constricting defense.
Over the first two games, James shot 19 percent (8-of-42) from the field. The All-Star forward committed twice as many turnovers (17) as he had field goals (8). He’s 0-for-10 on 3-pointers, and his 16.5 points per game average is 13.5 lower than his league-leading mark during the regular season.
He has looked confused, frustrated and overwhelmed.
