225: Unruly Child (Asking for Monthly Votes!)_2

Allan Houston's offense was nothing special, just the old no-ball running position and catch-and-shoot.

The problem lay in Paul Pierce's defensive enthusiasm compared to the first game—it wasn't even close.

Right, he casually took another day off.

And his frequent gambling on passes for steals actually gave Allan Houston many easy shooting opportunities. Once a steal was missed, Pierce was completely out of position.

In the second half, Pippen took over guarding Allan Houston, and Roger personally guarded Sprewell.

But the hole dug in the first half was too big, so the Hawks lost to the Heat by 5 points.

Pat Riley finally won against Roger once, but he proceeded with caution, "You know, you can never say you've beaten Roger too early. It's just a regular season game, far from a time for celebrations. Far from it."
