NBA Finals Game 6

After a few drinks at the bar with a Cleveland friend, the 4 of us headed over to E. 4th Street with a few thousand other fans...

Dinner at Pickwick & Frolic, starting with the Cleveland sausage platter. 

One of only a handful of Warriors fans brave enough to make the trip. LOL.

The reality of buying 3 tickets for an NBA Finals game is that you are likely to buy a 2 and a 1, especially for good seats.
So I wound up with 2 seats in Section 125 between the scorer's table and the Warriors bench and 1 row Section 107 ticket across from the Cavs bench.
We agree to switch seats after each quarter so we would all get the same experience. OK, not a bad view. 

The crowd roars as the Cavs are about to take to the court.

Time for the player noisy intros.

The Cavs started strong and were up 31-11 at the end of the first. Their defense held Golden State to their lowest quarter scoring total in the playoffs. At the end of the quarter, I switched seats with SFO777Jr and I move to the other side of the arena. Looking back towards my single seat, four rows behind Beyoncé and Jay Z.

Trying to distract one of the Warriors attempting a free throw.  

And back on the other side for the 4th quarter as the game got close and then the Cavs pulled away.

Cavs Win!  Cavs Win!

My favorite pic of the night!

Outside after the game well after midnight, traffic and thousands of people on E. 4th.

What a great game and an amazing experience to be back home for the big game and the surrounding hoopla. 

While the boys stayed out and closed the bars down, I'm older and sometimes a little wiser.
I headed back to hotel to get some sleep before my 4:30a wakeup call less than 4 hours later.
