The Cavaliers' consecutive dunks set the arena abuzz and showcased the drive of this young team.
Youth has its disadvantages, of course, but also its advantages; much depends on who is leading the team.
After Thompson's successful free throw, the scoreboard moved to 5-6.
The Grizzlies' perfect start and their momentum had been countered by the Cavaliers.
However, the shift in momentum did not affect the comparison of strength in the paint between the two sides.
At the peak of their powers, the black and white bear duo was on par with the Heat Team on the offensive end, even when Hansen was fully invested in defense.
Little Gasol, handling the ball at the high post, directly charged past Hawes, attacking the rim and scoring with a sky-high hook shot off the backboard.
This kind of interior suppression also affected the offensive end.
