Flashback to the week of Thanksgiving. Monica and I are gearing up to go to the Mavericks vs. Pacers game that Tuesday night. Unfortunately, Katie Lynn comes down with strep throat preventing us from attending the game.
As a Christmas gift, Monica bought Mavs tickets for the game versus the Timberwolves yesterday.
First order of business.. get ready!
The drive down to the American Airlines Center was a cinch.. straight down 75, a slight curve over on the Woodall Rodgers, and around to the parking lot. Surprisingly, the parking lot was very close to the arena. We arrived a bit early, so we walked around the ground level and concourses.
Next up was finding our seats. Not a bad view!
Katie Lynn was rather restless before the game started and in the first quarter. We brought a container of Cheerios for her, and by the end of the first quarter, more than half of them were gone. We were worried she’d get even more restless, but she calmed down for the most part. A group of high school girls behind us kept her entertained thankfully!
Katie Lynn even clapped many times when the crowd was getting into the game.
As for the game.. WOW! First half was horrendous Maverick basketball.. but the second half was a complete 180. It was such a thrilling second half that ended up being the greatest comeback in Mavericks franchise history.. down by 29 at one point and in the end winning by 7.
We had a great time and hope to do it again sometime!
Oh, and for those that don’t know.. MFFL = Mavericks Fan For Life.
