And so were Ron Harper , Derek Fisher and Robert Horry , who also moved up in the pecking order. It was a matter of getting good looks. Once I hit a couple, the confidence went up. His point total equaled his high in this year's playoffs. We may very well be short again.
Guys have to step up again.
That's fine with me. I'm ready to accept the challenge. Bryant's status for Game 3 at Conseco Fieldhouse on Sunday night is unclear. The Pacers weren't closer than three points after that. Harper, forced to play more minutes than usual and become more of a scorer as well because of Bryant's injury, also scored 21 points, including four free throws in the final 32.5 seconds to clinch the victory.
