The Hawks players were all incredibly hard-working today, whether it was running plays or playing defense.
Even though they knew they might not get the ball much today, they still gave it their all.
Logic would suggest that Roger's ball-hogging style of play is extremely detrimental to his teammates. If you don't pass the ball for a long time, your teammates could lose their enthusiasm on both offense and defense. That's why the Zen Master needs the triangle offense, which ensures that the ball passes through everyone's hands to the greatest extent possible.
Yet tonight, Roger's ball-hogging didn't dampen the team's spirits.
Because everyone was willing to pave the way for Roger to create a slaughterhouse, allowing him to single-handedly take on Spree without worry about double teams, to guard Spree one-on-one without concern for help defense, until Roger vented the frustration that had been bottled up for a year with his ultimate individual heroism!
