I'm not one for posting about wins generally, and I'm certainly not crowing about this one. I've spent most of the 4th quarter moaning (as usual), five players playing the whole game and not getting tired, a lucky fan coming on and looking like a starter rebounding the ball, the fact that we couldn't get the ball to anyone the lucky fan was guarding, and of course, my favourite, why are we letting Carlsson shoot all the time like we're playing patient.
So there we are; timeout with 25 seconds left. Those of you who have been in chat with me know what I think of Wasps' timeouts. They're usually followed by a Carlsson miss or a turn over.
10 seconds left and for the first time we have Fallon up against the lucky fan. He plays for England. He can't miss. He simply can't miss.
He's missed.
Game over. How is this even possible? I'm done with this season. I'm done with this game.
1 second left. Ifeanyi steal. Typical there's no time left. I might as well be watching City in the 80's or 90s. Its not the disappointment that kills you. Its the hope.
0 secs left. Carlsson shoots. He's 2 for 22. Its in. (And I admit, I thought we'd tied the game, and was ready to moan about too many minutes.) After a few seconds I actually noticed we'd won. He'd hit a 3!
And on TV too. Probably the best finish I've been involved in.
