BOSTON - Dallas returns home for the first time with the Dallas Mavericks since the earthquake decided to trade superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Fans may feel sad after 25 points in a 127-120 victory in the TD Garden defeating defending champion Boston Celtics on Thursday "It may be a bit booed. But, as a professional, you have to embrace everything we can play this game and perform at the highest level.

"I don't know what will happen. I know Luca is cherished in the heart of every Mavericks fan. We just have to win and be consistent and give ourselves a chance to win the whole thing, and I think that will Relieve all fans' pain and anger.

“It would be weird, but that’s what we signed up for.”

Although the deal happened a week ago, the wounds opened in Dallas are still fresh. Protests are expected on Saturday. One of my foundation criticized general managers Nico Harrison and the Adelson Family bought the team’s billboard from Mark Cuban last year , because he has raised $40,000.

Even in a team, the damage of wandering in a trade lasts far more than a typical trade, even a deal in which a star player is moved. Kyrie Irving said Tuesday that the loss of Doncic is still "sad".

And, earlier Thursday, defender Spencer Dinwiddie said the anger shown at the team was "completely understandable" when the team was ready to return home.

"It shows what Luka means to the community. It shows the love of the fan base. Still love him," Dinwiddie said. "In addition, I think, for the fan base that has had Dirk for 20 years and when Dirk is about to retire," Dinwiddie said. It seems right that they got Dirk 2.0 in a sense, which is understandable. No one is angry with Dallas fans. You have to give it a chance to handle, feel and live."

It seems that this is what is going to happen on Saturday, which is why the ghosts returning to Dallas and the ghosts waiting for the Mavericks covered up the victory over the defending champion, the Mavericks hit 15 3-pointers and Thompson led 25 points when the newly acquired Anthony Anthony Davis suffered abdominal pressure last week when he stayed, while the Lakers were fighting against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Davis had a shooting game ahead of the game in Philadelphia on Tuesday, while Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said after the game was sent, Hope It's Davis to return on Saturday.

However, to be precise, the reception to him - and other mavericks - remains to be seen.

But Kidd said he understands the pain of the fans and said it was his job to help players prepare for him and overcome any obstacles.

"What happened...we sympathize with fans and knowing that they might be frustrated. But, at the same time, as the coaches I have, we have to put them first to succeed against Houston, and that's what I focus on All of them.

"It's free speech. That's why they're called fans. But for us, it's a question that keeps it going, and that's what we're going to do."
