After being warned by Hansen, Popovich didn't dare to intentionally injure anyone, but he still had other methods.
The "unhappy" Randolph was the breakthrough.
Especially since Randolph's touch wasn't on point tonight, exploiting him had a high chance of success.
Alerted by Hansen, Randolph immediately snapped back to his senses.
But it was only Hansen whom Randall completely trusted after experiencing the series against the Thunders.
When the offense switched to defense, Hansen received the ball on the strong side and fed it down low to Randolph.
Blair was still playing dirty, but before the help defense arrived, Randolph scored a 2+1 over him and, shaking his head, he got hyped and shared a forceful high-five with Hansen.
Hansen turned his head and looked at Popovich, and seeing his helpless expression, he smiled.
You can't expect Randolph not to perform, finding a rhythm inside is much easier than on the perimeter.
