West plans to rebuild the Grizzlies, no doubt about it.
But at that moment, what truly moved West wasn't the chips the Lakers could offer.
At Meixi Arena, after halftime, the game resumed.
Although the Suns trailed the Warriors by 12 points in the first half, for this run-and-gun team that could close a 12-point gap at any moment, at least in the eyes of those grinding their teeth among the Suns fans at the scene, they were far from despair.
In the third quarter, Marion and Bell each hit a three-pointer for the Suns, briefly narrowing the gap to less than 10 points.
However, on this night, the fuel consumption rate of the Suns' offensive engine Nash...
Was clearly a bit faster than usual.
Brown, who was wreaking havoc on the Suns' inner line, grabbed his 10th rebound of the game before the third quarter ended.
Notably, of those 10 rebounds, 7 were offensive rebounds.
