J.R. Smith Was Devastated By Being Forced To Run Clock Instead Of Shooting Another Three

Sometimes in life, we have to do things we really don’t want to do. For J.R. Smith, that meant not launching a contested three-pointer immediately after the Cavs had a secured an offensive rebound late in the second quarter and had an opportunity to hold it for the final shot. Ultimately, Smith relented, but the disappointment was palpable in his body language as he gave the ball up to Kyrie Irving, who proceeded to dribble for a while, then take a long, contested three-pointer to end the half.
