Cleveland’s mercurial shooting guard declined an interview request Friday, a day after the Cavaliers suspended him one game for throwing a bowl of soup at assistant coach Damon Jones. Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said Smith did not address the team over the latest drama for a team that has had no shortage of theatre this season. “I had a little discussion with him,” Lue said before refusing to say if he was the one who suspended Smith. Smith’s target, Jones, previously played for the Cavs and is in his second season as an assistant on Lue’s staff. Before Thursday’s clash with Smith, the talkative Jones engaged in a lively shooting contest with point guard George Hill.
