Taking advantage of Al Jefferson's rest, the Bobcats launched a 7-2 run, extending the score from 10-9 to 17-11, widening the gap to 6 points. The Celtics called a timeout, entering the official timeout stage!
Carlisle was very pleased at this moment. Half a month ago when facing the Celtics, he actively adjusted the starting lineup, using Okafor and Perkins to start together to deal with Al Jefferson, who at the power forward position could only be compared to Randolph and Brand before his major injury... It failed, couldn't defend and let Big Al score over 30 points, not to mention our own offense was lacking.
This time, he directly abandoned targeting the Celtics' strong interior points. If Al Jefferson wants to play one-on-one and pass it to Josh Smith to coordinate, so be it. Let's see whose role players shoot more accurately! On his wing shooters were Pietrus, Afflalo, Mike Miller. Was he afraid of facing Eddie House, DaQuan Cook, and Farmar?
