This without forgetting to mention the duo of Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who combined for 39 points and were a constant headache for Dallas, who despite fighting and especially in the first quarter had the advantage and ruled the game , little by little it fell apart.
This despite the fact that Luka Doncic shone individually even with a strong blow to the chest, which even had him in doubt for this match. The Slovenian finished the game with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, but it was insufficient to obtain the victory.
The series moves to Dallas starting this Wednesday the 12th, the Mavericks have the obligation to win both games at home, since a victory for the Celtics would definitely shorten the path to the 18th title for Joe Mazzulla’s team.
