Returning to Cleveland with a 3-1 lead, the Cavaliers just needed to win at home, not only to achieve revenge but also to complete a sweep of their opponents.
The unpredictability of the series was evident here, as the Celtics initially clearly had a stronger team than the Cavaliers, but after losing one or two key games, they were already in a desperate situation.
There were two days of rest in between, and it was during this time that Hansen's popularity skyrocketed.
Although his Game 4 performance showed only 7 successful shots out of 17 attempts and 21 points, far less dazzling than in Game 1, his game-winning shot combined with the technical foul was overwhelmingly powerful.
Especially when Carrell placed Hansen on the technical bench, and the scene with fans cursing and throwing bottles was published in the world-renowned magazine, the effect was explosive.
