[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 sometimes abbreviate teams' names to two or three letters. I'm going to use present tense even though the games are over because I think it shows more of the emotion and I don't have to convert my notes. You're welcome to those who sent thanks. Keep them coming - I love them. Comments, questions, suggestions, and praise welcomed.] Other game results: Cleveland Cavaliers 93, New Jersey Nets 84 Portland Trailblazers 101, San Antonio Spurs 107 Boston Celtics vs Charlotte Hornets in Charlotte As you know, Reggie Lewis did not play.
