"To tell the truth, I don't think his performance tonight was worse than mine, it's just that I have teammates like Jason (Terry), JJ (Baria), and it was us who defeated them."

"Following the win in Game 1, will the Mavericks sweep the Grizzlies just as they did against the Lakers?" the reporter seized the opportunity to ask.

The Grizzlies made a lineup change for this game, starting Allen instead of Battier.

The purpose of this was to have Hansen match up against Nowitzki at the beginning of the game.

Hansen gave it his all, and it indeed had an effect.

In Nowitzki's peak years, how to defend against him was a key research topic for all teams.
