Billups raced up the court with the ball, with Artest in hot pursuit, cutting him off two meters behind the three-point line.
Billups quickly passed to Prince, who drove into the paint. With Foster giving chase, Prince extended his incredibly long arms and laid the ball into the basket.
The Pistons took a 2-point lead.
Su Xi couldn't sit still any longer.
Carlisle, maintaining his composure like a seasoned commander, calmly gestured for Su Xi to sit back down.
This time, Fred passed the ball to Artest. Artest's ball-handling was average, making it hard for him to create opportunities. He was a jack of all trades, master of none. But he was strong and could muscle past Prince.
But Prince's defense was excellent. With his long arms and legs, he excelled at disruption.
Artest couldn't find an opening and didn't try to force it. He bumped Prince aside and fed the ball to Little O'Neal.
