Of course, if the Lakers could play against the Pacers like they did and dominate them, it wouldn't matter if this opportunity didn't arise. But with Sibaros failing to gain an advantage and the opposing Grant Hill targeting the Lakers' two inside players who weren't good at defending pick-and-rolls, the score remained tight for a long time, and the opportunity arose!
The Pistons once again felt the terror of the opening game, brought by a super fast-break master with the height of an inside player, faster speed than a guard during counterattacks, and excellent confrontation skills!
