BEST GAME EVER!

As the Jazz get ready to honor Coach Sloan, and retire his jersey...it's
truly the end of the best era in Utah Jazz basketball!!!
The Jazz had spent since 1983 in the playoffs.
In the 90's, they would advance to 2nd round, or Western Conference Finals,
but could never get over the hump!
Unfortunately, I did not see this game!
WHAT???  ME???  BIGGEST JAZZ FAN???
Nope.  I had gone, with my "Walkman Radio" with
Cathy, Carolyn, and Jane to the Tina Turner Concert.
The concert was held in the Delta Center.
The game was on all of the tvs on the concourse.
The Jazz had gotten so far behind, I put my Walkman away.
Cindy Lauper was the warm up act.
She was pregnant, and had purple hair!
It took about 30 minutes to change the set.
When Tina first came out, several people ran up the stairs.
Towards the end of her opening song, most of the doors to the
arena flew open, and people excitedly ran down the stairs.
I thought it was part of the concert.
Before the end of her song, word had gotten through the entire arena
that the Jazz had won!!!
The spotlights then swooped over the entire arena, landing on Karl's
big MVP banner.
Then Tina said, "Well, it looks like your team won!"
It was hard to get everyone settled down to continue the concert.
  
This was the best game ever!
