The Los Angeles Lakers sharpshooter Malik Beasley talked about keeping his confidence amidst his shooting slump after beating the Phoenix Suns on Friday night:

“Just kept working hard,” Beasley said. “I’ve put in a lot of work, so at some point, it’s gonna fall, and tonight it did. Hopefully, it continues through the playoffs, that’s the time I really want it to come.”

While talking about what it’s like to see shots falling, the 26-year-old, who scored 21 points vs. Phoenix, said:

“It feels good. The rim looks bigger. I can shoot the ball with more confidence and hopefully get the ball more because it’s going in. So it felt good to get out and play a little bit more tonight and take advantage of the opportunity.”
