That love affair Dallas Mavericks fans have with their favorite basketball team took a major shift Wednesday night at American Airlines Center.
After stunning wins over San Antonio and Cleveland this past Sunday and Monday, respectively, point guard Yogi Ferrell was all the rage after his spectacular performances in those two games. Wednesday, the love-fest shifted to Salah Mejri.
A second-year center from Tunisia, Mejri scored a season-high 16 points and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds as the Mavs ran away and hid from Philadelphia in the second half and posted a 113-95 victory over the 76ers.
