Under the continued performance of Hansen and O'Neal, the Cavaliers quickly took back the lead.
This forced Van Gundy to make adjustments and put his main players on the floor earlier than planned.
Seeing this, Brown also replaced his main players one after the other.
Hansen was benched after playing for 5 minutes in the second quarter.
In the first half, he played for a total of 8 minutes and contributed 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block.
Of course, there were also many defensive plays that didn't show up in the stats but were noted by the fans.
At halftime, the Cavaliers led 59 to 51.
"Hansen is a surprising force, his excellent performance during the bench play changed the game's momentum, and we have a reason to remember his name."
At the end of the half, Kenny Smith also gave Hansen very high praise.
