It was not a good day offensively for Ish. He missed at least three point blank layups and the Mavericks defense literally dared him to shoot all game. He made some nice passes but too often he would penetrate only to miss a layup or kick it out to a shooter who would miss. On defense he played solid but JJ Barea was getting anywhere he wanted in the 4th with Smith guarding him. Overall though Smith was one of three Pelicans to finish with a positive plus minus and he appears to be getting more comfortable in the system.
