Okafor effortlessly won the jump ball against Krstic, giving the Bobcats the first possession!
Okafor won the jump ball, and the Bobcats initiated the attack.
Zhang Yang received the ball at the top of the arc and went one-on-one against Carter, pulling off a butterfly step.
Carter, as expected, got aggressive and tried to steal the ball. Zhang Yang quickly dribbled with his right hand, pulled to the left, and burst through the middle!
On the flank, Richard Jefferson and Krstic from under the basket moved to cover Zhang Yang. After Carter was outplayed, he angrily turned to chase in defense. Zhang Yang, drawing a triple team, passed the ball to Hill on the mid-range right. Hill caught the pass and immediately fed it to Okafor who, stepping into the three-second zone, caught the ball with one hand and smashed it through the hoop!
Krstic tried to turn and cover, but he was far too late.
