I could just tell something was going to happen that night. The crazy energy in the atmosphere at the Capital One Arena made it obvious. It was the Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards with the Wizards facing a crucial game six. This game could send the Wizards home if they didn’t win. Me being a Washington Wizards superfan, I was into every second until the buzzer. Playoff basketball is something else, something beyond amazing.

They inbounded the ball into John Wall about fifteen feet out of the three point line. He had the ball… one dribble… hesitation… another dribble… hesitation… into a three… swish.
