Lenny Wilkens couldn't take it anymore, "Paul, you've been pushing my buttons all night!"
"I'm stating the facts."
"Enough!" Roger stood up, pointing at Pierce's nose, "Your performance today was not even close to Vince Carter, so you had no right to take that shot. Shut your damn mouth!"
Unsurprisingly, the cameras at the venue captured Roger on the bench, yelling at Pierce.
At the commentary desk, Bill Walton and Bob Costas got more excited than by a slam dunk.
"My God, what's happened? Is Roger expressing his dissatisfaction with Paul's performance today?"
"Perhaps, Paul's shooting was very impulsive today, and he missed too many blocks on Doug Christie. Roger would never tolerate such performance from his teammates, don't forget his high-pressure tactics were the reason Steve Smith left."
The commentators began speculating and the media was thrilled.
Finally, had the moment they had all been waiting for arrived?
