                    [Summary] => DALLAS — It was the day after Miami beat Dallas, 101-100, in overtime in Game 5 of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals and we looked forward to flying back to this Texas city where the Mavericks are 8-2 in the playoffs.


Solar vice president for production Erick Tam, broadcaster Vitto Lazatin and I woke up to a bright, blue sky in Miami and never expected the harrowing experience that lay ahead.

Pacquiao wore a dark coat as he sat behind the microphone on the front row at ringside. He looked comfortable in his seat beside Solar Sports vice president for production Erick Tam who celebrated his birthday that day.

Our Northwest Airlines flight was scheduled to leave at 5:10 p.m. last Wednesday. Game 2 of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals ended the night before at the Staples Center. So we had an entire morning and a big chunk of the afternoon to relax away.

It is an understatement to say that ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ because the series ended sooner than everyone expected!

From the New Jersey Nets themselves, to their fans, to the NBA officials, to the local media and the international broadcasters, all were clearly surprised with the sweep.

Right after the clincher, all members of the media had a get-together at the NBA Hospitality Suite at the Marriott Marquis in New York and everyone was disappointed that the series ended in 4 games.
