We're Up 3-0

After the timeout, Tang Tian drove into the paint. After battling Bogut, he absorbed Barnes's slap across the arm and still sent the ball into the basket.

That tough bucket fully displayed his ability to withstand contact.

He made the and-one free throw through the jeers, helping the Pelicans cut the deficit to 27 points.

On the other end, Thompson came off an off-ball pick and roll, caught Bogut's pass on a cut to the basket, and finished a difficult layup off the glass.
