It should be no surprise to see Dirk at the game. Following his illustrious 21-year career with the Mavericks Dirk joined the team's front office as a special advisor following the departures of former general manager Donnie Nelson and head coach Rick Carlisle.
The series win gets the Mavs back into the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2011 when Dirk and the Mavs went on to win the franchise's first NBA Championship.
