FT 3OT Miami 120 Toronto 124

Boy oh boy, I saw the final last night, but read it as 124-100 (this weather has addled every part of my being); thought that was awfully high-scoring for a game that was in the sixties halfway through the 3Q; saw that the only offense was Jimmy who had 37 and a 3W, and was about to write that that was a typical box score for a blown-out team in the Association, but was tired and went to bed.

Triple OT. Didn't see that. "This one's over": Per usual practice here, wrong. The shooting was horrific, 40.5% (32%), Duncan was a Donut 0/5 (0/5), Tyler was not a hero but a HerrO, 5/22 (3/14)--it was a Saturday Night Horror, and still we almost won. Good team the "Heat", good, good team.

Spo rode the only horse he had, an oft-lamed thoroughbred called Irritated Big Toe, who he drove hard for 52'. A full game played in the Association is calculated at 36'; Bam, 14 and 16 with 6 T.O.'s, Gabe, 17 and 4 asts (he can't play point) and Tyler, each played 45. PJ played 41.
