Amid the cheers of the fans on site, Zhang Hao retreated into defense with an expressionless face.
Watching Kurt Thomas unable to even disrupt Zhang Hao's easy turnaround fadeaway for a score, Moning picked up the ball and passed it to Koels, running towards the frontcourt.
Just one ball, and Moning realized Zhang Hao's progress far exceeded his expectations!
17 to 19, the Lakers still trailed by two points.
Heat on the offense, Owens faced off against Doug Christie's defense, took a step sideways for a strong drive, but was tightly guarded by Doug Christie.
Though not as athletic as Owens, Doug Christie's defensive anticipation is the best on the Lakers, and among perimeter players in the league, he's definitely one of the elite.
However, Owens, finding no good opportunity, didn't pass but continued driving to the baseline, throwing up a shot...
No good!
