The first quarter was pure gold. Dallas came out swinging, with their star player sinking threes like they were free throws. I actually texted my buddy, “Dude, we’ve got this in the bag.” Rookie mistake, I know.
By halftime, the lead was a comfortable 15 points. The energy in the arena—you could feel it through the screen. Fans were doing that wave thing, and the announcers were getting all poetic about “team cohesion.”
But here’s the thing about sports: comfort is a lie. The second half started, and it was like someone swapped our team with a bunch of confused middle schoolers. The energy shifted, and fast.
