In fact, it was clear to everyone that the Cavaliers' defense was not on the same level as the Grizzlies', especially when it came to the interior.
Hawes' performance at the start of the game on the defensive end fully illustrated the difference between defensive statistics and defensive ability.
But it was precisely because of that, Hansen needed to do even more on the defensive end, and his presence became even more notable.
"Michael Heisley did the dumbest thing—if it were me, even if someone pointed a gun at my head, I wouldn't have traded away Hansen," O'Neal commentated, criticizing Heisley.
At this moment, Heisley had long lost the excitement he had after Wiggins' dunk, because Hansen was continuously destroying the Grizzlies' value with his performance, just like he said when he won the ring, "You will regret not selling the team in the summer."
