Cavs have confidence in JR - Lue backs struggling Smith
Tyronn Lue says the Cleveland Cavaliers retain full confidence in JR Smith despite his toils in the opening two games of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Smith appeared to suffer a brain fade in a dramatic conclusion to game one when, with the scores level in the final seconds, he grabbed an offensive rebound from George Hill's free throw but rather than go for the basket, ran the ball out as the buzzer sounded. The Cavs went on to lose in overtime and on Sunday the Warriors extended their lead to 2-0 with a 122-103 victory at Oracle Center, Smith contributing just five points as Stephen Curry stole the show with a record-breaking nine three pointers in a single Finals match.
