Dallas began the double feature at AAC during the fifth inning, when Corey Seager scored Texas’ first run of the night. The game appeared more frequently on the videoboard as the Rangers began to break open their Game 5 lead.
The Mavericks kept the game on the board during a four-run eighth inning that included a Marcus Semien home run and let it continue to play as the Mavericks closed out their win over Chicago and the Rangers clinched their World Series title.

Yeah, the Mavericks were playing at the same time — ditto for the Stars against the Flames in Calgary — but the Rangers have been top of mind for North Texas sports fans since their improbable postseason run that started with a wild card series win on the road against Tampa Bay.

The Mavericks, both current and legend, have shown out in their support of the Rangers. Luka Doncic and Dirk Nowitzki have attended multiple playoff games together, though the Rangers didn’t win those home games at Globe Life Field.

Doncic made a joke that he and Nowitzki wouldn’t show up to Game 5. Guess he believed in jinxes.
