The Indiana Pacers were doing well.
When people thought Roger couldn't maintain his touch in the face of tough opposition, his touch remained steady through the second half.
The 6'2" Workman struggled to take on the task of guarding Roger and continued to get blown past in the third quarter.
With no other choice, the Pacers had to assign Derrick McKey to guard Roger.
Then, Pippen finally got his chance.
Facing Workman, Pippen's cuts to the basket were unstoppable, and even his turnaround jump shots carried a confidence reminiscent of Jordan's.
Roger, of course, wasn't idle. Though Derrick McKey was excellent on defense, almost like a Pacers version of Prince, Roger wasn't completely shut down by him. In fact, all three of Roger's three-pointers today were made over McKey's head.
McKey might have been tall with a long reach, but since he's a forward, he had to give Roger a step; otherwise, Roger's drives would be too easy.
