The Lions headed to Queenstown yesterday for two days off, buoyed by the tight 24-21 win over the All Blacks on Saturday night in Wellington.
But the job is only half done for a side which will look to become only the second Lions side to claim a series victory in New Zealand.
Lions captain Sam Warburton said he was very proud of the defensive effort from his side but there was still a job to do.
''I said to the forwards at the end we are evens now. They won the first half, we won the second half, now there is one more half to play,'' he said.
''I'm glad we are taking it to Eden Park next week but I will genuinely only be happy if we can get that test win next week.
''Now we are in the situation where we can win a test series. It is great that we managed to put on a performance that has allowed us to potentially win a test series.
''It was great to put a performance like that into the jersey and, hopefully, that will keep the Lions going for another four years.
''But next week we are going against 15 blokes more than likely. So we will have to step it up from there. You can talk all the tactics in the world, I think, but at times it is just desire to get off your line and win some shots.''
Coach Warren Gatland said the All Blacks would come back as they had after losing to Ireland in Chicago last year and the Lions had to be ready for that.
Gatland said the whole squad helped get them over the line. He fired off at some media which had tried to divide the team.
''They haven't been successful in doing that ... we have an incredibly united group of players, yelling and urging each other on.
''In the last couple of weeks, the criticism and personal attacks has been a little bit tough to take ... ironically the thing about Kiwis and the New Zealand public is they are probably the fairest people you could come across.
''The amount of support I have had and the team has had from Kiwis ... there is a huge proportion that want us to do well because they think a bit of the stuff that has been done has been unfair. It is water off the duck's back to me but ironically, [it] has been a huge positive. So whoever has been doing it, please keep doing it, as it has been a huge positive for us.''
Former British and Irish Lions coach Sir Ian McGeechan is recovering after collapsing at Westpac Stadium, NZN reported yesterday.
He was in the commentary box before the second test when he became unwell.
''Spoken to my dad, Geech, and he is fine, just a bug. Thank you everyone for all your best wishes x,'' his daughter, Heather, tweeted.
Sir Ian walked to the ambulance.
He was reported to be in a stable condition while being assessed in Wellington Hospital.
