Smith’s mind on the job

-

CLEVELAND guard J.R. Smith confessed to cluelessne­ss in his botched rebound play in the NBA Finals opener, promising a tighter focus in today’s crucial second game.

Smith squandered a final chance at a regulation-time Cleveland win in a game Golden State won 124-114 in overtime when he rebounded a teammate’s missed free throw with 4.5 seconds to play in and dribbled away from the basket with scores tied 107-all.

He said the Cavaliers cannot afford such errors in game two.
