5 to 6, after Hansen's consecutive dunks, the Cavaliers narrowed the gap to 1 point.
Of course, the bigger change compared to the score was in the morale of the two teams.
The momentum the Celtics had in the beginning was now completely gone.
When the Celtics attacked the front court again, the cheers in the arena didn't rise again.
The Cavaliers continued to apply high-intensity defensive pressure.
Malone was sitting calmly like Mount Tai.
If it were last season, in this kind of situation he had to consider the stamina of Hansen and Irving.
But now, with the team's depth allowing a 12-man rotation, he actually liked seeing this level of defensive intensity on the court.
Since Irving was traded, the Cavaliers' talent has decreased, even now the talent on the court is not as good as the Celtics.
But when the game's defensive intensity is such that only star players can resolve the issues, then Hansen can beat anyone.
