Conley from the Grizzlies scored 15 points with 10 assists, Little Gasol had 12 points and 13 rebounds with 3 blocks, and Battier added 8 points.
Hansen was on fire, hitting 15 out of 22 shots and racking up 36 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 turnovers, 3 steals, and 1 block, delivering an MVP-level performance.
"He did it on purpose, his actions were criminal, he should be thrown in jail, he's a murderer!"
The away team's press conference was first. Popovich was visibly agitated when he talked about Manu Ginobili being injured by Hansen.
He had just received the news that Ginobili was severely injured, out for the season, and it could even threaten his career.
That was his favorite player, you know. Among all the Spurs players, even Duncan had to play within his system, but Ginobili was the only exception.
After the away team's press conference concluded, it was the home team's turn at the venue.
Hansen and Conley attended together.
