During the third game of the Western Conference Finals involving the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves, reactions of the spectators regarding the presence of Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs players, were mixed. While the crowd embraced the former, the latter received jeers from the fans.
Boos for Kelce, Cheers for Mahomes
Travis Kelce seemed shocked when the giant scoreboard at the American Airlines Center pointed directly at Mahomes, Kelce sitting alongside him, Brown, and Mahomes’ wife, Brittany. The reception however was quite the opposite as the audience began to boo and express their displeasure towards Kelce. On the other hand, Mahomes received clapping and cheers during the competition. The quarterback who is originally from Texas and played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders had to stand up to defend himself and pump up the audience insisting they cheer on louder.
Social Media Trolling
The Mavericks’ social media team joined in on the fun, posting a playful jab at Kelce on Twitter: “Our guy Pat and @taylorswift13’s boyfriend in the house!” This post related Kelce’s current fling with pop star Taylor Swift, which has been a subject of discussion for the entire 2023 NFL season.
On the Court
Nonetheless, what was happening away from the basketball court could not overshadow the fact that the Mavericks ruled the game on the court. Dallas won the game with a score of 116-107 helped by Luka Doncic, who scored 33 points, and Kyrie Irving, who also scored the same amount of points to give Dallas a 3-0 lead over Utah in the series. This performance placed the Mavericks on the edge of being in the NBA Finals.
Future Outlook
As the Mavericks aim for the Finals, Kelce and Mahomes prepare for the upcoming NFL season, seeking their third consecutive Super Bowl title with the Chiefs. Their strong bond and collaboration remain evident. The contrasting receptions for Kelce and Mahomes added excitement to the playoff game, and fans are eager to see if any more celebrity sightings stir up the crowd as the Mavericks look to close out the series on Tuesday.
