Damon Jones. Standing still. Hands up. Open.
As the ball pours through the net, and the quarter ends, Jones stands frozen, three fingers spread wide. His teammates leap from the bench, watching and waiting for Jones to join them. But for the moment, he just stands there, smiling big.
It's a sellout tonight. For the moment, the whole place is smiling big with him.
