D.J. Augustin did not miss a shot during the Lakers' 131-120 victory over the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Monday night. He credits LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
LeBron James finished with 38 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds in the Lakers’ 131-120 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.“I’ve always flourished in my career with shooters and D.J. is a shooter,” James said after posting a triple-double of 38 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. “He’s a big-time maker and every time I see him have any split second of open, I’m gonna try to find him, especially if I have the ball in my hand.
In 11 games with the Lakers, Augustin is making 40% of his three-pointers and 45% of his shots overall. “Like I said, playing with Bron and Russ, people are double-teaming them and running guys at them for no reason — well, it’s a reason — but running guys at them, and they’re basically leaving us open just to catch and shoot or swing it to different options,” Augustin said. “I wouldn’t say it’s easy, but our job is pretty easy. And you have to be confident and also have to work on your game outside and make shots. You just can’t catch and shoot it and think it’s going to be automatic.
