He played a quiet 10 minutes and scored just two points on 1-of-4 shooting. Smith did show up. HE SHOWED UP, fucked up and generated more noise than LeBron and his ridiculous stat line of 51 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists with a nasty red eye (thanks Draymond).<\/p>\n<p>Midway through the first quarter, Smith went for a steal and almost injured Klay Thompson.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AuA4x8fydpY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Then in the final seconds of the second quarter, Smith went for another steal in almost the exact same spot, slips, and leaves Steph Curry wide-open for a buzzer-beating three that tied the game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9X9CQ_y0UJs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>That was foreplay.
