Halftime ended with both teams scoring low.
Glory trailed the Celtics by 4 points with a score of 41:45 on the road.
Gan Guoyang had already scored 20 points in the first half, stepping in quickly after a mistake by Porter to rescue the team.
He personally accounted for most of the points, punishing the Celtics' defense with his precise mid-range jump shots.
At the same time, upon returning to the Three Second Zone, Gan Guoyang solidified the area under the basket, giving the Celtics few easy scoring opportunities inside.
However, the Celtics really shone on the perimeter tonight, thanks to Steve Nash, who drove their offense.
Nash not only contributed 5 assists but also scored 14 points himself in the first half, making him the top scorer for the Celtics.
His mid-range jump shots, baseline fadeaways, and three-pointers became lethal weapons against Glory.
Stockton wasn't wrong; to win against Ah Gan's team, the point guard must explode.
