However, the Hornets continued to dominate the Bobcats in the second quarter, with Paul scoring 7 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, and dishing out 7 assists, leading his team to a staggering 34 points in the quarter alone!
Paul's performance tonight was simply too good, the ball was passed, chances for shots were created for teammates, or it was passed again to an even better-placed teammate, showcasing MVP-level skills!
By halftime, the Hornets led the Bobcats by 8 points, 70 to 62!
Scott was very satisfied with Paul's performance, satisfied beyond words, with 14 points and 11 assists at halftime; even peak Nash could do no more.
Though the Hornets dominated, Carlisle's tactical adjustments still impressed Scott, evoking his admiration; he admitted that he would never have thought of that angle, and even if he had, he would not have dared to execute it.
