DeCourcy: Lawson points the way in dominant second half
Posted Feb 12, 2009
Though Lawson was brilliant only for 20 minutes of Carolina's 101-87 victory over rival Duke, this was the game of his life. This was the game scouts had promised we'd see when he signed with the Heels nearly four years ago. This was the game that, if repeated often enough, could carry his team to a national championship the players insist is their goal but occasionally don't seem to covet.
