Losing to the Pacers, being killed by Miller in the final seconds, left the Trail Blazers feeling terrible.
Especially Kobe, not only did he lose the game, but he also looked very embarrassed against Miller.
In the previous game against the Knight, he thought he had found his rhythm, but within just two days, reality knocked him back to square one.
Before the game, he was excitedly thinking he would have a wonderful performance, but instead, Little O'Neal did much better.
Facing the strong inside lineup of Schmitz + Double Davis from the Pacers, Little O'Neal scored 10 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.
Scoring in double figures for the first time in his career, managing to get double figures in a game where the whole team only scored over 90 points was not easy.
Among a bunch of veteran inside players, Little O'Neal showed a lot of energy, as young as a colt.
Compared to Kobe, Little O'Neal felt less pressure, he wasn't getting as much attention as Kobe.
