Dallas is on the edge of its seat
Never in their history, have the Dallas Mavericks got to the NBA (Basketball) finals.
Except for this year. Now, the finals are first-to-four wins, and this year are against Miami Heat.
The first game was won by... Dallas.
The second game was won by... Dallas.
The city rejoiced, expecting a 4-nil whitewash. However, then things started to go slightly wrong.
The third game was won by... Miami.
The fourth game was won by... Miami.
And tonight, the fifth game was won, in extra time, by... Miami. Feck.
Which means that Tuesday evening is going to be a *massive* evening! If Miami win, the series is theirs. Whereas if Dallas win, it goes down to the final game on Thursday evening.

...but don't expect much sense from me on Tuesday, what with England playing Sweden in the afternoon (US time) and the basketball in the evening. Time to fill the drinks cabinet!
