The story so far
Everything you need before watchingHoward is in his suite, tracking a huge parlay tied to Kevin Garnett's points, rebounds, the Celtics' money line, and the opening tip. Every possession changes the mood: celebration, flirtation, insults, and fresh visitors collide around the television. The scene captures his compulsive need to control luck while the bet slowly narrows to one final result.
