Both teams are tops in terms of shooting percentage, why because they create turnovers and fast break point. Lebron James shoots something like 80% from the paint, which is out of this world. Also, three point shooting percentage are amongst tops in the league for both teams. Lastly bench points are huge, and, of course both teams lose minimal scoring opportunities from their strong bench. I could see how one would naturally assume this to be a low scoring game, but, if it was it would be an anomaly for the reasons I just stated.
