DALLAS — For so many years growing up, Emmanuel Mudiay showed up to the American Airlines Center as a fan. Mainly it was of Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki. But eventually it was of the team as well.
"I was a fan when they won that championship though," Mudiay said. "That whole year I was actually following them, and I started liking them that year. ... They grew on me over the years."
Saturday, it was his job to beat them.
But just like many of those dominant Mavericks team he watched, this one took care of business on its home court.
