The Dallas Mavericks were unable to complete a series sweep against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, missing their chance to clinch a spot in the NBA Finals on their home court.
The Mavericks now face the challenge of traveling to Minnesota for Game 5, aiming to finish the series there and avoid a return to Dallas for a sixth game. Unlike the previous matches, Game 4 was closely contested and hinged on late-game performance, with Minnesota executing well in the crucial final minutes to notch their first win of the series.
However, many Mavericks fans are attributing the loss to more than just game dynamics; they believe the attendance of Dallas Cowboys players played a role. Social media responses to the game highlight fans’ concerns, particularly focusing on Cowboys star Micah Parsons.
While Parsons supported Mavericks’ Luka Doncic by wearing his jersey, he also wore sneakers endorsed by Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards, which didn’t sit well with some fans. They expressed a preference for Kansas City Chiefs players, who had been courtside earlier in the series, over Cowboys players for future games.
