We just sent off Carter, who occasionally scores 9 three-pointers in a half, and now comes AI with 30 points in a half. Who can withstand this?
Unlike Carter, AI's powerful scoring continued into the second half.
He kept helping the team score, ultimately racking up 48 points, 5 assists, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals for the game!
This is why persistence is so important. Anyone can have a moment, but the impact of holding the ball can directly elevate a man's upper limit.
But the Hawks are the Hawks, with Jeff Hornacek hitting 3 for 3 on three-pointers in the final quarter, plus Roger's steady 36+5+7, allowing the Hawks to win 103 to 97.
The Hawks have suppressed yet another monstrously talented player, causing people to wonder what achievements the New Era's four shooting guards would achieve without Roger.
Speaking of AI at least, he could have won two more scoring titles and one Eastern Conference championship.
