LeTired? A breakdown of LeBron's 1st and 2nd half stats vs. Golden State.


On Wednesday, the media asked LeBron if guarding Kevin Durant was making him tired. His reply was simple: "I'm averaging a triple-double in the Finals. I'm pretty good."While LeBron is averaging a triple-double, I decided to look at the numbers a bit more to see whether there was a noticeable difference between his first and second half splits. I was pretty surprised by how much his numbers fall off in the second half, so I wanted to share them with you guys:1st Half: 21.3 points, 5.7 assists, and 7.0 rebounds while shooting 70.6% from the field and playing just under 20 mins.2nd Half: 10.7 points, 4.7 assists, and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 38.7% from the field and playing just under 22 mins.What do you guys think? Are tough defensive assignments wearing down this ageless superstar?(Data pulled from Basketball Reference's play-by-play stats) via /r/nba http://ift.tt/2rdWt2G
