The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. It was a nationally televised game on ESPN that featured two playoff-bound teams.
Things took unexpected turns left and right. First, the game between the Thunder and Jazz was called off after both teams were on the floor. Then, the announcement came that the NBA was suspending the season because of the coronavirus. This all happened while the Mavericks and Nuggets were battling it out on the court.
There were unexpected turns inside the American Airlines Center too. The Mavs were without Kristaps Porzingis, Seth Curry, and Dorian Finney-Smith against the Nuggets.
