CLEVELAND — About an hour before the Mavericks’ overtime loss Saturday night to the Cavaliers, 13-year-old Noam Dorfman and his dad, Lev, sat in the second row of the courtside seats in Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, just behind the basket where Dallas players warmed up.
They waited, hopefully, for Luka Doncic to appear.
He wasn’t even in Cleveland.
