Roger wasn't being greedy; he just wanted to win back those 20 points he owed from the last game.
The "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" was right, the Hawks should at least win by 20 points.
Winning 20 points per game means 40 points over two games.
Just perfect.
The ball went in, and looking at Larry Hughes, whose soul seemed to have been drained, Roger finally showed a satisfied smile: "Alright Larry, now the reporters won't have to talk about your second-round opponent."
Lenny Wilkens watched Roger, who had completely silenced the Magic team, and felt confident about the upcoming playoffs.
Unfortunately for T-Mac, he became the sacrificial victim for Roger to regain his bloodthirsty state after a relatively relaxed regular season.
Those who stand in the way must bleed, and anyone who tries to stop him from establishing a dynasty will face this fate.
T-Mac was just unlucky to be the first.
In the fourth quarter, Roger didn't shamelessly continue to play for more points.
