The Knight players saw hope!
But as soon as the final quarter began, Zhang Yang received a pass from Rondo, saw James backing off a step on defense, and took a decisive, quick-release three-point shot... James immediately rushed to contest, but couldn't successfully interfere.
Zhang Yang's three-pointer went in, 63-56, and the Bobcats extended their lead to 7 points!
Then James, pressing Rondo, drove into the paint. In his haste, he took an ill-advised shot, which was swatted away by the recovering Gerald Wallace.
Rondo grabbed the ball and pushed forward on the fast break. Facing a chasing James, Rondo scored on a layup and even drew a foul from James!
Rondo's additional free throw was also lucky; the ball bounced off the rim before falling in, 66-56, and the Bobcats once again stretched their lead to double digits!
