On the Pistons' side, Dumars, who rested for half a quarter, was back on the court. Thomas, Rodman, and Laimbeer, who had just fought a half-quarter of blood with Ewing, continued to play, and the veteran center Edwards, who rested for half a quarter, was on the court.
On the Pistons' attack, Dumars went solo, dished the ball, Thomas got a three from the wing off a screen, hitting it, sparking a Pistons' counterattack!
Thomas is quite unique in three-point shooting; he rarely shoots during the regular season, with only 1.4 average attempts per game in his career so far, but can double that in the playoffs. Especially this year's playoff performance in three-pointers was explosive, averaging 3.8 attempts and 1.8 makes per game with a 47.3% three-point shooting rate in the series against the Bulls, even higher than Zhang Yang's shooting percentage in the second round.
