Irony, it's just pure irony.
Rodman's flopping often got opponents fouled, but this time he was genuinely pulled down and he didn't get the call.
Frustrated, Rodman pounded the floor before getting up. Though he blocked Roger this turn, he was anything but pleased.
This was the first time Spurs fans saw Rodman get the short end of the stick in these dirty games.
Following the Spurs' offense, Admiral got the ball in the low post. He tried to back down, but Horace Grant steadfastly moved his lower body.
Defending the post is all about stopping the lower body, something that Grant knew well, and Admiral's weak point was exactly that.
Admiral attempted a backspin drive, but the space under the basket was all filled by the burly O'Neal, making it tough to score even if he got through.
So, Admiral slowly switched to face-up, then, after a triple threat move, pulled up for the shot.
Another jump shot, and he was playing like a small forward.
