Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer | Game One by AJC |
| A Ballad of the NBA Finals, Played in 2012 The outlook was uncertain for OKC that day; The five-point game was Miami's, but Westbrook had pretty plays. And when Wade rejected the slam, and hurtled toward the hoop, Westbrook split the seas, and the crowd heard, "alleyoop." The crowd of Okies stood and screamed with force for more While King and Flash deflated as their jump shots failed to score; The Thunder pounded ahead with a launch to 82-- While Durant dug in and with a twist, mouthed, "LeBron who?" Miami gained possession and tried to recover their heat Such a carefully crafted team surely couldn't be beat? So fourth quarter dawned with hope and electricity As Durant sank another shot to tally 91 to 83. Wade danced, shot, and whispered a wind through the net, and Collison returned one, not even breaking sweat. James sank one sideways and the ball flew down the court, where Durant slammed another, making art from sport. The fans chanted wildly as a minute left of time Sefolosha landed two more, and the Thunder up by nine. Collison sealed a with half-a-minute left to go and the coaches looked ready to call "curtains" on this show. A few more from the line, easy as the breeze And the Thunder take Game One, and bring Miami to its knees. Sorry Boys :( What a great game! Westbrook is smiiiiiiilin' tonight! |
