Although he was already accustomed to the situation of having the edge at the start and being at a disadvantage during the rotation phase, this was even worse than their usual situation!
There was no other choice; he had to once again switch to attack mode and attempt to lead the team in a counterattack.
But the problem was he was on the court, while Hinrich and Luol Deng were substituted off. His teammates were Lynch Hunter, Sefolosha, Nocioni, and Tyrus Thomas... The score in the latter part of the quarter was 10 to 12.
The Bobcats scored 30 to 20 in the second quarter, leading the Bulls by 6 points with a score of 53 to 47 at halftime!
Returning from halftime, the Bulls' situation still hadn't improved. Since the Bobcats took control in the latter part of the first quarter, their advantage had snowballed bigger.
