INDIANAPOLIS: J.R. Smith had no idea that he was a member of the last team that beat LeBron James in a first-round playoff game.
“I try not to remember too much of my New York days,” Smith said of his troubled tenure with the Knicks.
James insisted he didn’t remember his last first-round loss, either. It came on May 6, 2012, with the Miami Heat. As Carmelo Anthony poured in 41 points and Amar’e Stoudemire added 20 points and 10 rebounds, the Knicks pulled out a two-point victory in Game 4 despite James’ 27 points, four rebounds and four assists.
