Gan Guoyang scored 31 points in the first half, but the Trail Blazers were only ahead by 8 points.
The Bucks didn't crumble, they played with great tenacity, especially considering they came from behind to win the last game on the road, trailing by more than ten points.
During the half-time break, Stu Inman came to the Bucks' locker room and watched Don Nelson set up the team's defense for the second half.
The earthshaking dunk from Gan Guoyang seemed to have informed Don Nelson of Ah Gan's limits; he didn't persist in allowing Gan Guoyang to play one-on-one.
He still arranged for Cummings to defend Gan Guoyang one-on-one, but had Brule, Mokeski, and others ready to provide help defense and double team.
"Let him go baseline, but absolutely do not give him the top of the key. If he shoots, just let him shoot," Nelson instructed.
"When necessary, I will bring on the Twin Towers, so be ready on both offense and defense," he added.
