Smart Confident After Lakers' Game 1 Loss

The Lakers' offense struggled mightily after halftime, scoring only 19 points in the third quarter and 18 in the fourth quarter. LeBron James led with 27 points while Rui Hachimura added 18, but the team shot just 41.2% overall and 33% from three-point range. betsport24.es

Despite the loss, Smart maintained confidence in the team's game plan. 'I'm very positive in the way that the game plan is,' he said. The Lakers could be without Vanderbilt and Kennard for Game 2, potentially increasing Smart's offensive burden.
