Not only did the action on the court deliver in almost script-perfect fashion — with British-national Luol Deng top-scoring on the night and a buzzer-beating basket from rookie James Johnson sealing a 102-101 win for Chicago — but crucially, for the first time in the three-year history of the fixture, the attention from the British media matched the passion of the sell-out crowd.
Things I learned from this panoramic photo:
- Despite mad cow-related import restrictions, Benny the Bull made it to the game
- British sports fans wear a lot of blazers
- I think John Lydon was there
