PLAY OF THE GAME
13:30 | First Half... Nolan Smith lofted a perfect
pass from about 10 feet behind the three-point
line to a cutting Gerald Henderson, who convert-
ed the alley-oop pass with a two-handed slam.
“I think I can be more aggressive offen-
sively, and that’s not even just shooting the
basketball. That’s looking to make plays
more, driving the ball better, getting of-
fensive rebounds. There are a lot of ways
you can score and I can definitely continue
to get better at that. We’re winning -- that’s
the most important thing. The ball going in
the basket is not really going to define how
I play. Down the road, I’m sure there will
be games where guys are struggling and
it’ll be important for me to assert myself
offensively.”
