By the end of the first half, the Grizzlies were tied with the Heat at 58.
Hansen had scored 30 points by halftime, putting on his strongest performance of the season.
Or rather, after coasting for a month, Hansen had finally exploded in one half of the game.
Into the third quarter, Spoelstra did not double-team Hansen, because he knew that letting Hansen orchestrate the Grizzlies' offense would be more troublesome.
And when Wade was on the court, Spoelstra felt reassured.
Hansen indeed hoped the Heat would double-team him, because the power of a team always surpasses that of an individual.
But when the game situation resembled the first quarter, and the Heat team brought Ray Allen in again looking to widen the score gap, Hansen had to choose more individual offense.
It wasn't so easy to play against Wade, but he could use pick and rolls with Little Gasol, exploiting Perkins as the weak point.
