章 163: 100. What if it's five against eight?_4

At 188 cm and 84 kg, Parker stepped in to cover James, who, at 206 cm and 120 kg, stumbled sideways after missing a layup, a pained expression on his face as he earned two free throws, a video clip that went viral online.

Parker was humorously called 'the most brutal Point Guard in history.'

Eager fans dissected every instance from G3 to G5 where the Miami Heat stepped up to the free-throw line... nearly half of those free throws were undeserved!

Things escalated to a point where, if the Miami Heat were handed victories like in '06, and with a current lead of 3 to 2, Stern would persist, yet even with an 8 against 5 scenario, the Heat couldn't win, which was futile... Stern still cared more about his face than becoming a future joke.

Moreover, the market sentiment across the ocean was even worse than in the US!

The worst-case scenario that the Spurs anticipated didn't materialize, as tonight the referees officiated with fairness and transparency.
