The Finals Game 4 was an ugly defensive battle.

Upon close recall, you'd realize that before the era of no Handchecking fully set in, whenever two closely matched teams faced off in the Finals, regardless of their styles, the series would inevitably turn into a defensive war.

Today's game epitomized that ultimate confrontation.

The Magic warriors, ignited with passion on the defensive end, pulled and dragged relentlessly, full of energy.

Jerry Sloan thought, if I can't score from the outside, then you sure as hell aren't going to either.

Give me toughness, get your hands up, and make sure to knock them down every round!

As a result, both sides' offensive efficiency was greatly affected.

On the Jazz side, Karl Malone was double-teamed as soon as he got the ball, never having an easy shot.

And Hornacek, he once again lost himself amidst Roger's tight defense and his own daughter's sweet blow of "Daddy can't make a single shot."
