Before the conference finals began, the League announced the All-NBA Teams for the season.
Hansen didn't win DPOY, but for the first time in his career, he made the First Team.
It is from this that we can see why the media gave the DPOY to Noah, because Hansen really could have swept the honors this season.
A day later, Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals kicked off in San Antonio.
After four quarters of intense battle, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Grizzlies 122 to 113.
Duncan scored 27 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dished out 3 assists, Leonard had 21 points, and five players from the Spurs scored in double figures, with the team delivering a total of 28 assists.
Hansen racked up 36 points in vain.
The result of this game was somewhat unexpected.
After all, Grizzlies have the "Spurs Killer" Hansen, who easily overcame the Spurs in last season's Western Conference Finals.
