In the Cleveland Cavaliers 15 point loss to the Golden State Warriors in game one of the NBA Finals, J.R. Smith did not have one of his best games. He went 1-3 from the field and he only had three points in the loss. For the Cavs to be able to contend with the Warriors, they’ll need a better quality performance from Smith.
When Smith is on, the Cavs are extremely hard to beat. With the ability to go on a three-point tear at any moment in a game, Smith is the ultimate key in a game two victory for the Cavs.
