The Pacers widened the gap even further.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, even someone as stubborn as Van Gundy decided to throw in the towel.
The Rockets were down by 27 points. What was the point of playing?
Both sides sent in their reserves, turning the rest of the game into a scrimmage.
And just like that, the first Chinese Derby came to a close.
The final score was 112 to 89.
Su Xi's final stats for the game were 18 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, and 1 block.
Yao Ming's final stats for the game were 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks.
Both were star-level performances.
Anyone who watched the game wouldn't say they were undeserving of an All-Star spot.
But tonight, even for those who watched the game, the main point of interest was still the topic of Scarlett jumping on Su Xi to kiss him.
It didn't matter that the Pacers won or that Su Xi put up a stat line of 18, 9, 6, and 4.
