Last night, LeBron James poured in 41 points for the third time in four games to lead the Cavs in a 99-93 win over my beloved Bucks.
It’s no surprise that LeBron is leading the league in scoring (29.8 ppg), but it is impressive that he’s not showing any signs of fatigue after a busy summer that included a gold medal at the Bejing Olympics.
Let’s take a look at his numbers over the last four games:
37.5 ppg
53-100 from the field (53%)
38-46 from the free throw line (83%)
9.0 rpg
6.0 apg
2.0 spg
That’s a solid week of work. I am most impressed by his accuracy from the free throw line. He’s a career 73% free throw shooter, and if he’s able to get his percentage up around 80%, it will only help his game. Teams will be more reluctant to foul him, and when they do send him to the line, he can make them pay.
But the best thing about this run is that the Cavs are on a five-game winning streak.
