The Bobcats steadied the situation and decided to counterattack in the second quarter, hoping to capitalize on their momentum and gain an advantage.
But plans can never keep up with changes, and the game is always unpredictable.
As soon as the second quarter began, Peja scored a three-pointer, stretching the lead to six points. In the following three minutes, the Bobcats scored only three points, with Gerald Wallace cutting to the basket for a 2+1 play, while the Pacers scored merely two points.
Just when the Bobcats were getting ready to continue their tough defense and play a tug-of-war, Peja ran to the right sideline, received a pass, and turned around to make a three-pointer in Zhang Yang's face who was switching on defense.
The score reached 29 to 21, with the Pacers' lead expanding to eight points!
