Moon's POV
"Luna I hope these refs are in a better mood than last time." I say as my doggie and I walk out of the locker room here in the Chase Center in San Francisco, California and head to the court.
Tonight's game 4 of the Series and we're up 2-1.
In game 3 we lost 101-100 and annoyingly I got ejected from the game in the third quarter.
My first technical foul was when I tossed the ball at the ref and he thought I was showing him up.
My second technical foul was when I was talking to my teammates and I said a cuss word to my teammate, but the refs thought I was cussing them out so I got ejected.
"Soft ass refs." I mumble as we reach the court.
Once on the court, Luna and I head to mid court then I sit down on the court near the scorers table and do my pre-match stretch routine.
After my 45 minute stretch routine, I stand up then do my 50 shot pre-game shooting routine.
"And done." I say when I make my 50th shot.
Once I make my last shot, I walk over to Luna and scratch her head then we head back into the tunnel and walk towards the locker rooms.
Before we get to the locker room, we walk into the Service Dog bathroom then I stand guard as Luna does her buisness.
After Luna does her buisness, I pick up after her, then I wash my hands before we head to the locker room.
Once in our locker room, I put my phone and AirPods up in my bag, grab my gold jersey and shorts then Luna and I head to the bathroom and walk into a stall.
When we get into the stall, I take off my warm up shirt and shorts then I put on my game jersey and shorts.
Once I'm dressed, I tuck my jersey into my shorts then Luna and I leave the stall and head back to my locker and put my warm up stuff up in my locker.
After my stuff is put up, I put my long dark brown curly hair up in a ponytail.
"Now to get you dressed." I say with a smile as I look at Luna.
Luna smiles at me as I sit down in my chair then I put gold sweatbands with the Lakers logo on them on my doggies front legs.
"There we go." I say then I kiss Luna's head.
Luna smiles at me then she lays next to me so I stand and put on my shootaround shirt and sweats shirt and sweats that I'll wear while sitting on the bench.
Once I'm ready to head out to the court, I sit back in my chair and listen to Coach Ham do his pre game talk.
After the pre-game talk, my teammates, Luna and I leave the locker room and head out to the court.
Once on the court, my teammates and I do some more shooting and stretching for around 15 minutes then we get in a line and stand for the anthems
After the anthem finishes, our team is introduced first so I sit and wait for my name to be called.
"Number 14, Moon River." The PA Dude says then I stand up, walk onto the court, and high five my teammates.
Once everyone is introduced, I head to the sideline with the other starters, take off my shootaround shirt and sweats leaving me in my jersey and shorts, then I squat down and love on Luna.
"You be good." I say.
Luna smiles at me so I kiss her head then I stand up.
Once I'm stood up, I head to the sticky pad, step on it a couple times, then I head onto the court.
When I get on the court I fist bump the other team then I get in position.
"You ready?" Russ asks.
"So ready." I say. "So fucking ready."

"Moon you're out." One of my teammates says causing me to look towards the bench and see Dennis Schröder standing up from the bench.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me." I mumble as I walk toward our bench.
Once I'm at the scorer's table, I look at Coach Ham.
"You're going too pull me out of the game when I'm a steal away from a quadruple double?" I question. "What kinda shit is that."
Coach Ham chuckles then he looks at me
"It's okay." Coach Ham says with a chuckle.
"Mother fucker I'm not joking." I say with a straight face. "We're only up by fucking 2 with 15 seconds left so what the fuck?"
Coach Ham doesnt say anything so I turn back around and head back onto the court.
"Fucking joke." I mumble as I get back on defense.
Once I'm on defense I guard my man while Curry brings the ball up court.
Russ meets Curry at half court then one of the Warriors screens Russ which sends Curry towards me.
When Steph Curry comes towards me, I wait for the right time then I steal the ball away from Steph and dribble up court.
"YEAH MOON." LeBron shouts so I look up and see LeBron running towards the basket.
Once I see Lebron, I pass the ball to him then I watch LeBron dunk the ball.
After LeBron dunks the ball, the Warriors get the ball in quickly then they try to get a Hail Mary shot off, but the ball hits the backboard and bounces out of bounds as the clock hits 0.0.
"Whew." I say when the buzzer sounds meaning we won game 4 102-98 which means we're up 3-1 in the series.
After the buzzer sounds, I look up at the scoreboard and read my stats.
Moon River-15 Pts, 13 Assists, 11 Rebounds, 10 Steals
"Bitch ass coach trynna take me out the fucking game." I mumble then I high five my teammates.
After I high five my teammates, I head over to the bench then squat down in front of Luna.
"You have fun?" I ask.
Luna smiles at me then she snuggles into me.
I chuckle then I love on my doggy.
"Alright Luna." I say. "Let's blow this popsicle stand."
