Last night was wild! We attended our first Saigon Heat basketball game with a huge group of co-workers, watching the Heat take on the Indonesia Warriors. The team plays in the Air Asia ASEAN basketball league, and is in the middle of a playoff race. Tickets cost only $5!
Anyway, the game was super close until the very end, when the Indonesia Warriors started to break away a bit. The Heat was down by 8 points with just over half a minute left to go. People had given up and some fans left before the game ended since it seemed like a loss for sure.
By some unbelievable lucky events, the Heat came back to win with 1 second left! The other team missed something like 6 free throws in the final minute, and the Heat got lucky with 3-pointers. A player for the Heat missed his 2 free throws but another player was able to tip in the last one for the win in the final second. The crowd was going insane. It was the craziest sporting event I've ever seen. Fans were screaming and high fiving anyone and everyone. I don't know if I'll ever see another comeback like that again, but it was awesome!

After the game, we went down on the court to take some pics. It was a really fun evening and now we're all excited to go to another Saigon Heat game.
Defense, Saigon Heat! Defense, Saigon Heat!
