Lebron and Duncan

Lebron James has scored a combined 35 points in game 1 and game 2 of the NBA Finals

           

That is his lowest scoring output in back to back games since March 10-12^th

                 

The last time Lebron failed to score more than 35 points combined in back to back playoff games was Game 4 and 5 of the 2010-2011 series VS Dallas (25 points)

Tim Duncan shot 3 of 13 (23.1%) from the field in Game 2 last night finishing with 9 points

            Duncan hasn’t shot under 30% from the field since 12/15/12 vs the Celtics (2 of 13, 15.4%)

This marks the 7^th time that Duncan has failed to score double digits this season.  One would expect the Spurs to not fair well in those games, wrong.  Including last night, the Spurs are 6-1 when Duncan scores under 10 points.
