Meanwhile, the head coach Billy Donovan expressed confidence in Bell’s ability to be a hero. In addition, he believed that White shot the ball with confidence, and as a result, basketball happened.

“I like him for him in terms of his growth,” Donovan said. “I have a lot of confidence and faith in him. I think Kobe relies on these situations to become the player he wants to be. You know you’re not going to make everything. I think he’s going to have to ask himself, did I shoot with confidence? Was I balanced? Did I go through all the things that I control? And I think he looked good, just to make it. It didn’t go in; sometimes that happens.”
