After the interval break, Carlisle sent out a lineup of Jarett Jack, Pietrus, Mike Miller, Okafor, and Perkins.
On the other side, Woodson no longer let Pierce hold alone and adopted a rotation of resting the other two to recover stamina, with all three stars rotating on the court two at a time.
After the start of the second quarter, the Hawks team led by Bibby and Pierce played desperately, pressing hard against the Bobcats team led by Jarett Jack and Okafor.
As the saying goes, those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes, and this time the ones with bare feet are clearly the Hawks team. They are seventh in the East, in the lower bracket, winning means celebrating, losing means moving on, which makes them fearless, attacking recklessly under the lead of Bibby and Pierce, two very competitive players.
However, the Hawks didn't lose heart despite the 23-point defeat in G1, and the Bobcats weren't complacent because of the big victory.
