Fourth quarter dominance has been his calling card, as James leads the league in scoring, averaging 10.0 points in the quarter.
Still, this was different. James scored 23 points in the final period, including 18 straight. According to Elias Sports, it's the most consecutive points he's scored in the fourth quarter in his career.
No, on Wednesday, it was how he shredded the Nets. Believe it or not, James found a new way to impress his teammates, including Kyle Korver.
"My man has worked his way into being a real shooter. Like, for real. He can really shoot," Korver said. "His fundamentals, he has worked on it, in this last year that I've been here. His shot is really, really good."
That's high praise coming from one the best shooters in NBA history. And Korver would know.
This season he is shooting 58.5 percent from the field, 42.7 percent from beyond the arc and 78.2 percent from the foul line -- all career-bests.
These are his advanced shooting numbers: 78.3 percent in the restricted area, 42.9 percent on mid-range jumpers, 45.2 percent on above the break 3's, 42.3 percent on fadeaways and 55.6 percent on pull-up jumpers.
It all stems from plenty of hard work -- and an important adjustment.
