Dumars had no complaints, ran around to open up space.
In the finals two years ago, Thomas scored 25 points in a single quarter. Dumars admired his teammate's ability to score crucial points.
But the 29-year-old Thomas is not the same as he was at 27. After attacking for several rounds in a row, this time his breakthrough floater fell short!
Ewing and Oakley boxed out, Zhang Yang grabbed the defensive rebound and started the counterattack!
Edwards was a bit slow, but the other four Pistons players were quick to retreat. Rodman blocked the left wing, Thomas and Laimbeer blocked the right wing. Dumars defended from the center, retreating first inside the three-point line, guarding the free-throw line to stop Zhang Yang's advance, ready to double-team with the inside players at the wings.
Suddenly, Dumars remembered something, hurriedly dashed towards the top of the arc... Too late!
Zhang Yang stopped half a step outside the top of the arc, and scored a trailing three-pointer!
