Patrick Mahomes Shuts Down Seahawks’ Tyler Lockett’s ‘Cheating’ Claims as OKC Thunder Tie 2–2 vs Dallas Mavericks

The NBA Conference Semifinal series finally stands tied as the Dallas Mavericks went against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The match resulted in a 96-100 defeat of the Mavs. Despite the loss of the Dallas team though, Tyler Lockett, the Seattle Seahawks WR was not happy about how some plays turned out to be. He expressed his disappointment on X, claiming that the Mavs were cheating. His post got a reply from Patrick Mahomes, who is an ardent fan of the Dallas Mavericks.

The Kansas City Star hails from Texas, Dallas, so in support of his home team, the QB had to reply back to the bold claims that the Seahawks receiver made.  Tyler Lockett took to X and posted, “They really cheating in Dallas,” despite the Dallas Mavericks losing the game. Patrick Mahomes took it as humor and replied to Lockett in a matter of minutes. “Come on bro 😂😂😂,” shutting down the seemingly ridiculous idea to the QB with his team ending up on the defeated side.

Yet, despite the Mavs losing, the QB made sure to stick by his team and let no one bad mouth them. The Semifinal series remains tied with a 2-2 record on both sides, allowing some serious competition to unfold on the Basketball courts.

The Mavs starts Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving failed to make a statement in the game as they both played about 42 minutes and had 18 points (Doncic) and 9 points (Irving) to show for. Most of Mavs’ points came from PJ Washington (21) and Derrick Jones Jr, who had 17 points. Though Doncic and Irving couldn’t score many points, they assisted the team well.

The Guard Luka Doncic recorded 12 rebounds and 10 assists while his counterpart Kyrie Irving had 1 rebound and 9 assists in the game. The team started out strong with 30 points in the first quarter, but their performance kept declining as time went by. For OKC however, the story is different.

OKC Started with 20 points in the first quarter but managed to score 35 points in the last one as Jalen Williams, Luguentz Dort, Chet Holmgren, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being the top contributors to the board.

It can’t truly be said as to what Tyler Lockett referred to as cheating, whether it was Luka flopping or the alleged bad refereeing. But whatever it is, Mahomes always backs up his home team.

Patrick Mahomes doing his bit for the Dallas Mavericks

Day before yesterday, Mahomes and his wife Brittany took to the American Airlines Center to watch and support their home basketball team. Of course, he was welcome by the Dallas squad, and they shared a picture of the couple supporting the Mavericks as fans.

The Mavericks shared the moment on X as they posted their picture with captions that said, “The Mahomes are in the 🏠.” The picture shows the couple dressed in style showing up to the venue. Mahomes wore his signature Oakley pair as Brittany Mahomes also matched the white and blue aesthetic of the team.

Mahomes is a sports fanatic through and through. From golf, basketball, formula racing, baseball, the Kansas City Chiefs QB is everywhere we can imagine. But apart from the Chiefs, supporting the home team seems to always be the QBs first priority.
