Houston fans were stunned too: first they got slammed, then bloodied... this Dream really did have the aura of the Admiral!
Derrick McKey caught up with the basketball that Shaq had sent flying, and then counterattacked with a slam dunk.
10 to 6, Tomjanovich's thoughts weren't wrong, whoever fumbled first would feel even more disheartened.
Now, it was the Rockets players' turn to hang their heads.
Coach Tomjanovich hastily called a timeout, looking at Roger who had just inspired his teammates with a slam dunk and stabilized the situation, suddenly feeling a sense of crisis.
Once again, Roger stepped up when the team needed him most.
Every time, he did something at the key moments that changed the course of the game.
Last season, he always blocked Jordan at critical moments.
Just now, when the Magic Team's offense was stuck, it was Roger again, leading the team out of the tunnel with a forceful slam dunk, overcoming the first hurdle.
