O'Neal was so furious he wanted to push Roger away, but noticing Andrae Patterson from the Hawks' bench glaring at him, O'Neal decided to act mature for once.
He couldn't always behave like a child, causing a ruckus.
The game continued, and this time Pierce's jump shot from beyond the three-point line scored him his 14th point of the fourth quarter.
The gap widened to 12 points.
Moments later, Kobe was again intercepted by Roger.
After Shaq's recent blunder, Kobe was even less inclined to pass the ball.
But he dribbled too much. Roger had seen at least three opportunities to steal the ball, but hesitated due to caution.
However, when the fourth opportunity arose, Roger knew that Kobe had lost his basic patience.
After successfully intercepting, the Los Angeles fans on site felt despair.
Roger and Pierce, the Lakers couldn't stop either of them.
Phil Jackson sat at courtside, silent.
