Rasheed Wallace Gets Pissed, Takes Over (2004 NBA Finals - HD)

June 13, 2004 - After being mired by foul trouble and plantar fasciitis through the first three games of the 2004 NBA Finals, it turned out to be Los Angeles Lakers reserve forward Slava Medvedenko who served as the catalyst for waking Rasheed Wallace from his slumber. Slipping in a stray elbow to Wallace's midsection midway through the third quarter of Game 4, Medvedenko beared the brunt of the response, with Wallace targeting Medvedenko in the post in the mini-altercation's immediate aftermath.

In all, Wallace finished with a team-high 26 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals, and 2 assists in an 88-80 win, placing the Pistons squarely on the brink of earning their third NBA championship in franchise history.
