Patrick Mahomes, Dirk Nowitzki among celebrities at Mavs-Wolves Game 3


A star-studded crowd turned out Game 3 Sunday night between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference finals, which the Mavs led two games to none.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tweeted in support of the Mavs after their Game 2 victory Friday night. “See yall in Dallas!!” he wrote. The Texas-born athlete stuck by his promise, appearing courtside with his wife Brittany Mahomes.

When the jumbotron spotlighted the couple, the crowd erupted into cheers. It was a warmer reception than the one moments before for Mahomes’ pal and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who was greeted with some boos when he was shown on the screen. Kelce was also at Game 2 of the NHL Western Conference finals between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers Saturday night.
