Going to my first basketball game

It was a cold night, and me and my friends along with our parents were going to see a game between the golden state warriors and houston rockets. It was the first basketball game I had been to and I was pretty excited. When I got there, there were a lot of people around and everyone was excited. I hadn’t really followed the NBA so I didn’t know if the game was important or not. As soon as the game started, everyone was cheering on the Golden state warrior. It was really loud with bright lights all over the place. After the first quarter, the Rockets were in the lead by 6 points. Since it was early in the game, I didn’t really care at all because anything can change at any given time. All throughout the second and third quarter, the Rocket and Warriors both took leads, but were quickly brought down. In my opinion, watching the 4th and final quarter is the most interesting because I get to see how athletes will react under huge pressure. In the last 5 minutes, the Rockets were in the lead up by 6 to 9 points making it hard for the warriors to score. But little, by little, I saw that the warriors were making progress through decisive actions and a bit of good luck. Within the last 5 seconds the warriors had not caught up, except that their scores were tied. This means the game must be extended for 20 minutes to break the tie. As I was going to the restroom, me and my friend were talking about the game and how each team played. When we came back, the game had already started and the players were back on the court. It was pretty intense and in the end, the warriors won by one point. After the result, I learned from my friend that this means that the Warriors were going to play in the Finals. But overall, watching that game live was pretty interesting because most of the time when I watch sports, I watch it on TV, without the excitement of the crowd.
