NBA 2K9 Game 4

Charlotte @ 83 56 70 New York 75 85 80 Bobcats lineup - G. Arenas, M. Redd, M. Dunleavy, A. Jamison, S. Hawes Bench - B. Udrith, J. Hayes, M. Almond, A. Johnson, C. Atkins, A.Foyle, C.Smith Gilbet Arenas came out of the blocks firing on all cylinders for the Cats, helping them to a 33-26 first quarter lead. Danny Granger kept it close as Garnett could not find his shot. In the 2nd we started to lock down on D with Stuckey providing a nice spark off the bench as i built up a 9 point half time lead. I thought i had it in the books but in the 3rd nothing seemed to work out with Dunleavy and Arenas once again having their way with me. Suprsingly the overrated Michael Redd was doing nothing. I guess not that suprsining considering i just said he was overrated. In the fourth it was the Marquis Daniels show, after ont taking a shot for the first 3 quarters Daniels went on a tear going 8-11 from the field for 18 points. He was the Closer of the Game. With the Bobcats down with 3 to go i was prepared for their big comeback. That doesnt mean i stopped it from happening - as they pegged it back to a 3 point defecit. But Calderon penetrated the lane nicely and with his 13th assist hit a wide open Granger who was a good couple of feet outside the arc at the top. BANG. 6 point lead and game over.
