Horace Grant grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to Roger, who was facing Hardaway and Spree, already retreating. Roger took off just one step inside the three-point line, making a long-distance layup to score, catching both of them completely off guard.
15 to 9.
All of Magic Team's 15 points since the start of the game had been scored by Roger!
The Warriors were forced to call a timeout, as a sense of inexplicable fear spread through Oracle Arena.
During the timeout, teammates walked up to Roger to high-five him, and Roger didn't refuse.
But when O'Neal said to Roger, "Nicely done," Roger just nodded.
Still, he said nothing.
He refused to communicate with anyone.
Throughout the entire timeout, Roger was unnaturally quiet.
Nobody on Magic Team bother Roger with further conversation anymore, as they tried not to disturb the man who had already entered a certain state.
In fact, this wasn't the first time Roger displayed this state on the basketball court.
