An extraordinary alley-oop finally allowed the Magic to break through the Knicks' defensive positions in the fourth quarter, and ultimately, the Magic completed a major comeback of 17 points.
Pat Riley's face turned as red as Sun Wukong's behind. It's normal for men to have flushed faces, but to do so in front of so many people is undoubtedly very embarrassing.
Now the whole world knows, Riley was brutally killed by Roger.
And, this was the second time.
Riley used to be stopped only by Jordan. Now, he has another nemesis.
Before the fourth quarter began, when Riley held a 17-point lead, he never thought he would lose. He was very, very confident in his team's defense.
In fact, Riley was not blindly confident.
Throughout the fourth quarter, aside from free throws, the Knicks allowed the Magic to score on only one field goal.
But that one time was the deadliest of all.
