AMAZING JAZZ

Last night Mark and I attended the Utah Jazz - Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game. It was a great game but when the Jazz got down by 5 point with 35 seconds to go Mark decided we should leave that it was over. However I ran in to a guy I used to work with at Granite Furniture so upon stopping to visit we heard the Jazz start the come back so we went back in to finish watching the game. I must say it was one of the most amazing endings I have ever seen live. Kyle Kover made an amazing shot over the backboard to put the Jazz within one point. They then fouled and the Cav's missed the first free throw and made the second which put them up by two. Then the magic happened - with 5.7 seconds the Jazz inbounded the ball to Kyle Korver who did not have a shot so he passed to Ronnie Price who the passed to Sundiata Gaines, a rookie signed to only a 10 day contract, who put in the winning three pint shot. The team and fans went crazy. It was such and awesome ending. We would have missed it had it not been stopping to talk to a former co-worker.

wow. That is amazing. That is awsome that you got to go to the game. That is crazy that you ran into your friend and so you stayed. I think someone "up there" knew you would be upset if you misseds uch a great ending.
