Hi Pam - Happy new year - Yes they did have something to celebrate!

Hi Steve - happy new year - news travels fast! Jeff yelled at the ref's to notice illegal screens or let them know which players were shoving, fouling etc.. I cheered for the baskets and yelled "defense' alot LOL.

Hi Diane - happy new year - We both jumped up and down and were giving hi 5's to fellow fans around us( we actually saw this on the video link and laughed about it the next day :)

appreciate everybody's comments

Sincerely,

 

Grace
