After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups for both sides were announced.
Celtics: Little Thomas, Bradley, Durant, Towns, Horford
Cavaliers: Irving, Hansen, Tucker, TT, Jokic
The starting players of both teams took the court, with Hansen directly matching up against Durant on defense.
"Do you want one? I can give you one." Hansen chatted with Durant like an old friend, as this wasn't Durant's first time at his championship ring ceremony.
"I'll get one myself!" Durant glared at Hansen fiercely.
"I believe in you." Hansen's reply caught Durant off guard.
Durant didn't choose to go to the Warriors in the summer, which made Hansen look up to him.
Who wouldn't admire someone who fights to the end?
Towns jumped for possession for the Celtics, Little Thomas carried the ball past half-court, and both Towns and Horford set up a high-screen wall.
