Boston had the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback punching air.
Even during the offseason for the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes has maintained a strong presence on national television. His frequent appearances are due to his avid support for the Dallas Mavericks during their NBA Finals run.
Mahomes, a devoted Mavs fan, has been considered a good luck charm for the team throughout the postseason. However, despite his support, the Mavericks’ journey ended on Monday night with a loss to the Boston Celtics.
Patrick Mahomes says he ‘hates’ Payton Pritchard
During Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Patrick Mahomes posted a single, humorous tweet about the game. While some speculated that his message was directed at Jayson Tatum, who was on fire in the first half, Mahomes’ tweet actually came right after Payton Pritchard nailed a buzzer-beating half-court shot just before halftime.
Pritchard had also hit a buzzer-beater in Game 2, which gave the Celtics a crucial 9-point lead going into the fourth quarter. The Celtics eventually won Game 5 by 7 points, making Pritchard’s halftime shot a pivotal moment. This moment clearly left an impression on Mahomes, one he won’t soon forget.
