~:[CH3 - Day 131]:~ All She Wanted

When the schedule was released for round 2, it was asked if I was going to game 4 on Mother's Day. I thought about my schedule that week and knew with league finals Friday and Prom on Saturday, I would be beat on Sunday. However, my mom required me to go to the game. It wasn't that I didn't want to go, but I thought I would be a zombie and it would not be worth the money. Boy was I wrong and I am glad my mom got what she wanted for Mother's Day. The game looked like it would be a disaster and our hopes for advancing disappearing before our eyes as the lead built to 22 points and a frustrated Clipper faithful upset with the officiating and with how our offense and defense were performing.  However, slowly, the Clipper inched back closer and closer. In all my years going to Clippers games, this was the loudest I have ever heard the Staples Center with just over a minute to play as they took a four point lead. With one last shot, OKC fell short and the crowd roared and hung around for awhile to celebrate, including my mother who danced around happy as can be. I am not sure if this mother's day could have been any better for her, as we were all together, celebrating after the Clippers overcame the odds. It may not be the most traditional way to spend a mother's day, but it's all what my mother wanted and I am glad that I obliged.
