Never could I imagine that the two things would meet in one place, but now they have… plus a little Michael Jackson, Karate Kid and Star Wars.

Apparently, it was one of the most exciting games of the season. I say “apparently” because I don’t have NBA League Pass and couldn’t watch the game in its entirety. I did follow live updates on the Suns Twitter, and caught the highlights on Sports Center last night. One of the craziest moments was this one…

 

That’s right. That’s Zach Randolph of the Clippers punching Lou Amundson of the Suns in the face. Amundson was just fine and proved it with a sick dunk that had the guys on the bench out of their seats.

I’ve seen quite a few basketball fights in my day, including one that left my dad with a broken wrist, but this one was extra exciting. I just kept thinking, “I wish I had flown back from Phoenix on Wednesday instead of Monday!”

In the end, the Suns emerged victorious, winning 140-100, the largest margin of victory after a coaching change in NBA history!

Congrats to the Suns and to my dad, Alvin Gentry, on the win!

Maybe I should think twice about not getting that NBA League Pass.
