“I think that’s the yellow dot underneath it,” Hatton said unsure.
This lady volunteer exemplified that Canadian kindness.

The Nuggets are just one win away from the franchise’s first-ever NBA title, but you wouldn’t think so based on coach Michael Malone’s Sunday comments. Ahead of Game 5 in Denver, Malone said “human nature” is the biggest concern for his team going in with a 3–1 advantage.
“Most teams, when they’re up 3–1, they come up for air. They relax,” Malone told reporters. “They just kind of take it for granted that, ‘Oh, we’re gonna win this.
