Brown tried many kinds of methods, but until the end of the game, he did not succeed.
If it were just Hansen, or just Jokic, then he could try to force the ball out from their hands, but now these two are on the same team...
More often than not, the situation when the game started reappeared, with both players having the chance for mismatched one-on-one plays.
You defend one person, and the other can quickly complete a mismatched one-on-one play.
This is what's famously known as mutually setting up a "chicken legs and cheese" situation.
Brown also tried to let go of the Cavaliers' other three players and focus fully on defending Hansen and Jokic, but both Korver and Covington were shooting decisively from the outside tonight, and their accuracy was quite good.
Or you could say, Malone's training over the past half month, the arrangement for role players, is simply to put the accurate shooters on the court.
