After the start of the second quarter, under Bibby's command, the Hawks team centered around the pick-and-roll offense between him and Horford, along with Pierce's high-post isolation, to create passing and cutting play.
The Hawks' offensive firepower was indeed impressive, scoring 11 points in just over 4 minutes.
But the Bobcats' offensive firepower was even more fierce, scoring 13 points during this period!
Zhang Yang's isolation and passing, Felton and Ibaka's high pick-and-roll drives, combined with the long-range support duo of Brad Miller and Mike Miller, pushed the team offense to surge!
After a wave of fierce attacks, the score gap didn't narrow but widened by two points, prompting Woodson to call a timeout and bring Joe Johnson on early.
Carlisle also sent Okafor back on at this time to enhance the screening and attack-the-basket abilities.
