Here it is: for us, that was the first game of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals.
We're probably going to have to get through Cleveland to make the Finals this decade. But mostly, we needed to prove we could take a game we shouldn't on this kind of stage, and do it with a half of (mostly) amazing team play and almost everyone contributing in a pressure cooker environment.
If we're going to keep taking steps toward titles, we need games like tonight. We need Cleveland to know that we can take them, and in their house, and while surviving a barrage of 3s and a 20 point deficit, and with a one-sided whistle, and without our best guy. And WE need to know it too.
Even if it doesn't change the outcome of the series - and I'm still hopeful it will! - we took a big step as a team tonight. Great win, brilliant future.
