The next morning, Giannis woke up confused as to why he was in such inexplicably high spirits. Then, he caught a glimpse of his phone sitting on the bedside table, and grinned widely.

Jake Layman snuck towards the visitor’s locker room after the game. It was actually pretty easy to avoid security personnel if you knew all the back ways and unused corridors. In no time at all, he was there; he entered brazenly, not caring which Warriors player saw him. The target of Jake’s quest was facing…

Patty Mills checked his reflection in the rear-view mirror one more time. Seeing that his blond wig had come slightly askew on the drive over, he adjusted it until it was perfectly in place. His lipstick had fared better, and was just as garishly red as it had been when he had applied it thirty…

Aaron Gordon wandered over to where Serge Ibaka was sitting in the locker room following a tough loss to the Cavaliers.

But then, the blindfold was taken off. In the dimness of the torchlit…
