However, the Hawks still managed to beat the 76ers by an average of 11.5 points per game, with AI never standing a chance from start to finish.
Roger's scores over the four games were 33, 42, 37, 44, giving off an impatient vibe as if he couldn't wait to play all four games in one night and get it all over with.
After Game 4, Roger and AI shook hands and embraced.
Ever since the regular season when Roger exploded for 61 points, the unruly AI had disappeared in Roger's presence.
In his place was an AI still full of fighting spirit, but filled with respect for Roger.
"Congratulations, go win the championship," AI patted Roger on the back.
"Not win, take it back."
"Whatever you say, I just hope I lost to the championship team."
"That's a wish I can still grant you."
After the embrace, Roger turned nonchalantly, high-fived his teammates, and then walked through the player's tunnel.
The second round of the series ended with Roger sweeping the 76ers.
