On the court, Roger, after celebrating with his teammates, strode over to Scottie Pippen at the end of the bench.
He bent over and wrapped his arm around Pippen's neck, pressing his forehead against Pippen's head, "See that, Miss Scottie? That's what a man's gotta do!"
Having said that, Roger let go, walked into the player's tunnel amidst the curses of the New York fans, and ended this great night.
Roger was happy, but not ecstatic.
Because he knew the series wasn't over yet.
His revenge on Pat Riley wasn't over either.
This was just the beginning!
After the game in the locker room, Cartwright directly cursed at Pippen, swearing even worse than Roger had.
At the height of emotions, he couldn't help shedding tears, and he and Pippen hugged and wept together.
They had gone through so much together, and they both knew this was the best chance to win honor without relying on Michael Jordan. But Pippen had just willingly given up that chance.
