The Charlotte Hornets were clinging to a 99-98 lead with five minutes to play against Golden State.
The easily excitable Hornets play-by-play caller Eric Collins was crackling with anticipation on every dribble in what was looming as a memorable early season win.
Despite the hope in the building from the home crowd, you looked at the Warriors lineup and saw the players on the floor.
Stephen Curry. Draymond Green. Andre Iguodala.
To that point, Curry had been decently held, tallying just 24 points. But surely he would break loose...
Charlotte, who were 7-7 coming into the night needed a big win.
