Cavaliers’ J.R. Smith searching for way to break out of career-worst shooting slump

The worst shooting slump of J.R. Smith’s career has him pondering ways to break out of it. Another performance this dreary and Smith may have to take matters into his own hands.

Or feet, as it may be.

Smith missed all 11 of the shots he took in the Cavaliers’ win Sunday’s over the Philadelphia 76ers and he is mired in a dreadful 1-for-22 shooting slump in his last two games. He has missed 16 of his last 17 3-point attempts.

If Smith struggles again in Tuesday’s game at the Milwaukee Bucks, he knows how to break out of it when he gets home.
