After checking no one was catching up, Hansen began to slow down, then performed a between-the-legs dunk.
The last time Hansen used this dunk was against the Spurs, that time it was out of frustration, this time it was clearly a celebration.
"Boom!"
As the ball slammed into the hoop, the FedEx Forum completely erupted.
The Lakers? They're nothing special!
This dunk expanded the Grizzlies' lead to 8 points with one and a half minutes remaining in the game, sealing the victory.
In the end, the scoreboard was frozen at 121 to 114.
When the game ended, the scene plunged into a frenzy, with the Grizzlies' players shouting and screaming.
Not only had the Grizzlies "won it back" as Hansen had said, but they also proved that at full strength, they could beat this Lakers team.
This boost in confidence meant more than just securing a win!
