J.R. Smith’s teammates have a simple message for the slumping sixth man: Just keep shooting.
Smith has struggled mightily from the floor in the past four games, hitting just 26 percent of his attempts.
Coach Mike Woodson and others have expressed confidence that Smith can turn things around. “You can’t give up hope,” Woodson said Friday. “J.R.’s a big piece to what we’ve done this season. I’ve just got to help him as a coach. His teammates have got to help him. And he’s got to help himself to snap out of it. I got confidence that he will do that.”
Smith is a combined 7-for-30 in two games against the Pacers.
