'Yata!!

For those of you who didn't catch last nights game on TNT the Jazz won a thriller. The hero of the game was a guy by the name of Sundiata Gaines called by the team "Yata". 10 days ago he was playing basketball in Idaho in the D-League. Yesterday, before the game the Jazz resigned him to another 10 day contract. He has only been to one practice, and been with the team for only 5 games. With that experience with the team, he was able to help the Jazz make a huge run in the 4th quarter and finally make the game winning 3-pointer in dramatic fashion as Deron Williams went down hurt in the first 30 seconds of the 4th quarter.

The above picture is from a game that I went to vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder on the 3rd row next to the jazz bench thanks to Tally who had tickets and gave them to me. We were on TV a lot and this was a picture taken of the TV screen with a cell phone after a Boozer dunk and 1! Go Jazz!

So, Tally had tickets, gave them to you, and you went to the game. . . alone? Could that be a DATE next to you? Details please.
