After the historic events and emotional thrill ride of the KC Current’s stadium opener, one might have expected Patrick and Brittany Mahomes to revel in the momentous occasion. But their passion for local sports knows no bounds. That same evening, the power couple transitioned to expressive fans at the American Airlines Center, supplying a thunderous encore of cheers to the Dallas Mavericks’ clash with the Denver Nuggets.
With the game knotted late, Luka Doncic etched his name into the night’s downtown lore. The Mavericks’ talisman sank back-to-back threes in crunch time, each more captivating than the last, to snatch the lead. The second, an off-balanced, step-back dagger from the wing sent Patrick Mahomes into hysterics – leaping out of his courtside seat in euphoric celebration of the Slovenian’s shotmaking wizardry.
For the Chiefs quarterback and an ardent sports lover, Doncic’s flair for the dramatic served as the cherry on top of a special Kansas City Saturday. “This game is wild!” Mahomes exclaimed on social media amid the pulsating back-and-forth final minutes, with the Mavericks ultimately hanging on 107-105. His renowned competitive fire extends far beyond the gridiron.
