Finney-Smith acknowledged that star players urging him to take shots boosts his confidence, highlighting how teamwork and communication are vital as the playoffs loom.
I just told him today if you don't want to shoot it, I'll shoot it. Honestly, you can ask him. I think he could have shot more.
Yeah, but he talks s- in practice when he shoots with me, so I don't see why he don't want to shoot. But no, I mean, he's a great player.
I always want to make the right read. So if I see somebody running at me, I'll make the swing swing [pass]. 'Like, bro, you the hot player, shoot the ball.'
Dorian Finney-Smith went nuclear against the Rockets, scoring 20 points, all from 3-point range, showcasing his offensive capability since joining the Lakers.
