[This is from what I saw and the notes I took. Please excuse spelling, grammatical, and typing errors as I haven't been getting much sleep. Times listed indicates time _left_ in the quarter, half, game and/or overtime. I am assuming that you know who plays for which team and I sometime abbreviate teams' names to two or three letters. I'm going to use present tense even though the games are over because I think present tense shows more of the emotion and I don't have to convert my notes. If you see me consistently misspell someone's name - as I did with Wilkins and Hensen (thanks Mike) - let me know so I can get it right in future tabs. And your welcome to those who sent thanks. Those notes makes doing the tabs worth my while. Comments, questions, suggestions, and praise welcomed.] Boston Celtics vs Charlotte Hornets in Charlotte.
