As a kid, I knew I wanted to be a journalist. In college, I studied to become a journalist. And for 22ish years, I got to be a journalist. Barring something unexpected, Thursday night was my last night. I will miss it. But I got to do something I loved, and I’m so grateful.

Lauri had a go-ahead shot that missed, Collins rebounded in traffic, got trapped, and airmailed a pass into about the fifth row. Man.
