Crawford took the ball from the backcourt and charged down like a dragon, unleashing a two-handed slam dunk as soon as he reached the frontcourt!
That instant set FedEx Forum ablaze.
The Grizzlies' bench was boiling over with excitement, and Hansen stood up to applaud Crawford.
He now better understood what Battier had said.
Some people try to showcase their team spirit by putting up near triple-doubles or even triple-doubles, but that requires a lot of ball handling, and to some extent, it's like sucking the blood out of their teammates.
A true team player, like Battier, strives to help every member of the team perform at their best.
At the end of the quarter, the Grizzlies led 26 to 23.
In the second quarter, the Heat Team made no lineup changes, while the Grizzlies continued their rotation, with Jason Williams coming on to replace Little Gasol.
For a stretch, neither side had a big center on the court.
