JR Smith: 'New York Knicks lacked heart'

JR Smith has said that the New York Knicks' current run of form is down to "a heart thing".

The team have lost their last five games in a row, including their 126-103 defeat to the Golden State Warriors last night.

The forward told reporters: "It's not a mental thing, it's a heart thing. You can't let people score 40, 50 points in the paint over and over again, then we ain't going to win. We ain't going to win games like that."

The Knicks sit third in the Atlantic Division with a 21-38 record.
