The stimulated spins want to return to the ground state; they can, upon liberation of the excess energy they carry. They only need to find an appropriate partner to accept the energy load. What we have now is a potential resonance pair: the excited spins are the energy source and their chemical surroundings (lattice) can serve as the receiver.
