After defeating James to claim their first ever 50-win season, the buzz was palpable post-game.
The morning after beating the Knights, Zhang Yang read the morning paper and browsed online news. Even though it was the day of the March Madness finals, their game from last night still made front-page news and had headlines on website homepages.
From a traffic standpoint, reaching a 50-win season by defeating the Knights indeed "maximized benefits" more than doing so against the Wizards or the Miami Heat.
But such benefits were not what Zhang Yang wanted.
For the following seven games, they needed five wins to reach 55 victories. If they had won one of those two games, the subsequent ones would have been much easier.
After resting until noon, Zhang Yang drove to the airport to meet up with the team.
