For those unfamiliar,
an IAOS is a sports fan’s favorite:
a game close enough to go
to-and-from
by plane, train, or automobile,
in one day,
meaning you’re back
in your own bed
(or friend’s couch)
that night.

It’s not every day

For me,
it
was
just
the
20th
time
in
my
28
years
(Okay, technically 21
if you count the Pats’ 20-6 win over the Jags
in the 1997 AFC Championship
when I was 3 months.)
Highlights from the clincher:
Lucky the Leprechaun
dressed as a diehard Celtics fan,
chirping all of Indiana,
an usher who took a selfie with me
after some A+ conversation,
chanting for Tito Horford
(absolute legend),
and of course,
watching the C’s take the East,
knowing we were just
four
games
away
from
finally
raising
Banner 18.
Always a pleasure hitting the road
with Sully and Gabe—
boots on the ground
for a playoff game.

Shoutout to
@gabesalter7 for dominating the drive,
@sullivanchris013 for grinding on laptop work
both ways like a pro,
& obviously @dwhite921
for banging the game-winning 3-pointer
with under a minute left
to seal the 105-102 sweep in Indy
