You don't really even need statistics to see this. Lebron has just been taking over fourth quarters all year. Moreso than anyone has a right to. He's basically been doing what he did to the Pistons last year in every single game every night it's needed. Look at the defensive numbers as well. Lebron's clutch defense has been out of this world.

Not necessarily a clear cut
better like you said it. Clutch situations doesnt take the other side of the game, like defense. Kobe's just a better defender than Lebron in clutch situations. I am a witness. IF you guys just watched how Kobe shut Kevin Martin Dwon on the fourth when they are trailing, then completely demoralized Sacramento on the offensive end, then you guys would have access to a much clearer picture.
Also the Lakers plas a very pass oriented team than the Cavs, even in the fourth quarter. When lebron passes, normally to say Boobie or Damon Jones, chances are they will take that shot. Kobe does the same thing and its not unusual to see the ball spread around even further before a shot is released.
