Of course, the hoopla around the game kept her intrigued enough to enjoy it without even paying attention to the action on the court.

From trying to catch the Jumbotron camera's attention by dancing in the aisle to watching a one-person Village People impersonator at halftime, her beaming face clearly showed that she was having a good time.

And the game hadn't even gotten good yet.

Down 64-53 at the beginning of fourth quarter, the Celtics closed in on the Heat lead, whittling down an 11-point lead in 4 minutes. The score was even at 77 with 2:06 left to play.

The Boston faithful were going nuts. All of the fans, including my girlfriend and I, were on their feet cheering at "Garden Level," according to the Jumbotron.

With 4.2 seconds left, the Celtics were down by two with the ball out of bounds at half court.

Paul Pierce in-bounded the ball to Antoine Walker.

Walker, who has faced criticism for poor play this year, reversed that fortune in a brief moment.
