Quote:
But Carroll prevented both from happening again, and it started with a bizarre play early in the fourth quarter.
Carroll, who hadn't attempted a shot in the first three quarters, launched a 3-pointer from the right wing. Andrei Kirilenko lunged at him and Carroll's follow-through hit him in the mouth, chipping his tooth. The shot fell and Kirilenko was called for the foul.
``It was hanging and he just grabbed it and threw it to the ground,'' Carroll said. ``I said to him, 'Are you OK?' and he said, 'It's just a tooth.' I'm thinking this guy is one tough Russian. I thought he was going to break me the next time I came down court.''

He continued to play on like nothing happened.
