After playing 40+ minutes Yao and with the double overtime about to start, he was clearly exhausted. I'm sure Artest noticed this and said to coach, "Hey put me on the low post and I'll get us the win." Adelman agreed and the rest is a vivid memory in the minds of Rockets' fan all around the world. Determination goes a long way when tired legs and aching injuries remind you of your limitations as a human being. With the crowd chanting your name as you step up to the free throw line, Artest nailed each of his shots as if he's a 90% free throw shooter.
Honorable mention goes out to Yao for pushing himself past exhaustion to battle each of the guys Jerry Sloan threw at him last night and for Luther Head for bringing his offensive & defensive game while replacing McGrady in the starting line up.
