Jason Terry passed to Nowitzki, who hit another one-legged fadeaway.
5-0 to start the game.
Isaiah Thomas roared from the sidelines.
Little General Johnson frowned. 'Have I found the Knicks' biggest weakness? Why else would Isaiah Thomas be so tense?'
'So, what exactly is the Knicks' biggest weakness?'
'Where did I hit them by accident?'
The Little General was bewildered.
The game continued.
Su Xi drove into the paint with the ball, bumped past Dampier, and laid it up with one hand. He put a little too much force on it with his fingertips, and the ball rimmed out. Jerome James grabbed the rebound and was fouled from behind by Nowitzki.
CLANK! CLANK!
He missed both free throws.
Eddie Curry muttered from the sidelines, "His touch is a little cold." He thought to himself, 'This is when they should put me in.'
Back on the other end, Nowitzki pulled up from beyond the three-point line... SWISH!
It went in.
8-0.
An 8-0 start.
The crowd went wild.
