212. Eastern Finals Begin! (Seeking votes with a 10,000-word plea)_4

Zhang Yang made the free throw as well, answering back to Hamilton's three-pointer just now!

The Bobcats reopened a 4-point lead, 65 to 61, over the Pistons as they headed into halftime!

Although they hadn't managed to stop the Pistons in the first half, the Bobcats played a good offensive game, generally maintaining the upper hand.

However, during the halftime break, Time Warner Sports commentators Hubie Brown and Bill Walton identified a potential issue with the Bobcats.

Hubie Brown said, "The Bobcats' scoring is too concentrated. Jack had 11 points in the first quarter and 7 in the second, Wallace and Okafor both got 11 points in the half, Felton got 12, and Rondo had 6. Aside from these five, the other five players who got on the court could only muster 7 points combined.

For the Pistons, besides Hamilton's 15 points at halftime and Billups's 11, the rest of the team's scoring was very distributed."
