4) The Iguodala effect
During Game 2, Andre Iguodala was LeBron’s final defender on 17 plays, resulting in James going 1/3 with just seven turnovers. In the previous ten regular season and playoff meetings between Golden State and Cleveland, James has shot 32-of-91 (35%) with Iguodala as his primary defender.
In that span, James has yet to solve Iguodala’s combination of speed, savvy and well-timed swipe downs. Let’s see the stats on James’ performance with Iguodala on/off court. (Stats courtesy NBA.com)
