Kevin couldn't stop bouncing as he watched the clock wind down. There was no way on God's green earth the Lakers could come back from a deficit that big with the time so short. His other teammates on the bench, and the rest of the crowd really, stood and the excitement brimmed as it threatened to spill onto the court.
Kevin couldn't wait and wandered to where Paul was hugging Ray tight from behind, both of them trying hard not to crack at the face of being this close to becoming World Championships. He wrapped his long arms around them and whispered into their ears. "We're champions, baby. Champions!"
Ray broke into a bigger grin than before and reached up to grip Kevin's arm. "I love you two. We're here. Couldn't have done it alone."
Paul couldn't talk. He was too choked up as the clock wound down 3...2...1...
And then the bench was mobbed as everyone celebrated the victory. The Boston Celtics won.
Kevin couldn't stop crying and Paul couldn't stop hugging everyone in sight. Ray bounced from foot to foot, going between comforting Kevin to kissing Paul on the cheek. They had a difficult season and there'd been doubt they could get this far, but they did. They were champions. Together.
