Upshot, 32, one afternoon from a third Iron Jug

Tayshaun Upshot already has two of these, won in 1987 and 1988. A man does not get to choose when the last one comes. At thirty-two he is playing like somebody who suspects this might be it. It did not, in the end, come down to him alone — it never does. But the Sentinels won it 26-20, and a fortnight from now nobody will be able to describe this season without describing Sunday.
