That Game Five was a turning point for the series, and a huge growing up point for our players and fans and owners alike. I was worried about the team, but more than that, I was upset and angry at losing to the Denver Nuggets.
Utah had three first round exists in the last few seasons which did not completely go away after making the Western Conference Finals two years earlier. The series turned then, and despite all the positive progress made by the team since I became a fan, the worries started to creep in again. That's when my Utah Jazz, despite just barely missing a sweep by losing Game 4 by 1 point, ended up losing Game 5 of the second round of the playoffs - at home - to the Denver Nuggets. One of the biggest moments in my life as a fan was when my head exploded when on May 17th, 1994.
