Williams to Mejri

There were enough fireworks in yesterday’s Mavs win over the Blazers that it felt like Independence Day at American Airlines Center. For one Maverick, it really was.

Salah Mejri celebrated his native Tunisia’s Independence Day on Sunday, the 60th anniversary of his country gaining its independence from France. Mejri did it in style, too, by putting together perhaps his finest performance of his first NBA season: 13 points, a career-high 14 rebounds, and a career-high six blocks.
