[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.
Special thanks to ESPN Sport Center who reminded me at 7:05 that
the game starts at 7:10.  Comments, questions, suggestions, and
praise welcomed.]
