Kobe scored 20 points in the second half, but the Grizzlies outscored the Lakers 46 to 38 in the second half, ultimately winning the game 104 to 96.
The Grizzlies' victory was attributed to their formidable presence in the paint with their twin towers, as Little Gasol contributed a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds, while Randolph added 19 points and 9 rebounds.
Hansen had an average performance, garnering 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists, similar to Kobe, with his scoring mainly coming in the second half.
The fate of the game still depended on Paul. Paul had scored 18 points and 5 assists in the first half, but added only 2 points and 3 assists in the second half and committed 3 turnovers.
After Hansen started marking him in the second half, he hardly attacked, but more puzzling than his offense was his dramatic drop in performance.
After the game, as the away team, the Grizzlies attended the press conference first.
Hansen and Little Gasol both appeared.
