Or something else? Funny, but similar story on an NBA playoff series past. A.C. Green, then with the Lakers, is originally from Portland. One of the NBA nice guys, you never read bad stories about him in the tabloids. Anyway, his Lakers were playing the Portland Trailblazers. The night before a Portland game, A.C. invited his team to a potluck at his mother's church. Ohhhh did these church ladies put on a feed! You name it, the food was there, and it was all delicious. On game day the bloated and overfed Lakers could barely move...if memory serves, that was the only game of the series that the Trailblazers won.
