121. Victory!

The Bobcats began to aggressively double-team Wade, using team defense to create fast break opportunities and slowly increasing their lead.

When the players lost their cool, all Riley could do was watch, even that coach with nine championships would be in the same predicament.

He recognized Wade's intention without sensing anything amiss; it was a good way to start the game. Payton loved to do the same in his youth, as did that all-knowing lifelong love of his.

But Riley did not expect that rookie to score four consecutive baskets under the alternating defense from Payton and Wade!

At that point, Wade's immaturity showed up, his eyes saw nothing else but the basket, craving to score to save face.
