Fans keep the faith, get rewarded with Game 3 win

Arriving at the Goodfriend Beer Garden and Burger House, the question figured to come quickly.

Is Luka playing?

The over-under was 2 minutes and if you took the over, you were a loser with more than 90 seconds to spare.

Wearing a Mavericks’ credential, I felt guilty not having a definitive answer for the patrons at the cool-vibe East Dallas establishment near Garland Road and Peavy.

But the answer came soon enough as locals streamed in to watch Game 3 of the Mavericks’ first-round series against Utah. Luka Donu010diu0107 was out again for the third straight game with his strained left calf muscle.
