After losing G3, the pressure shifted to the Grizzlies.
If they don't figure out a solution and lose G4 as well, both teams will be back to the starting line.
Moreover, the unresolved issues would still exist in subsequent games, and the Heat would then have the advantage.
Before the training session on the rest day began, Joerger sought out Hansen.
"Zack just told me he can play as a substitute if the team needs him."
Following Guy, Randolph also wanted to alter the game dynamics by sacrificing himself.
His suggestion was traceable.
Previously against the Warriors, the Grizzlies had successfully countered the Warriors' small ball lineup by starting Battier in place of Randolph.
"That might not be a good choice," Hansen voiced a different opinion.
Taking Randolph out essentially meant trying to outpace the opponents.
They beat the Warriors because Mark Jackson had not fully developed the Warriors' offensive capabilities.
