Jayson Tatum scored 31 points, Jaylen Brown added 30 and the Celtics barely withstood a furious comeback attempt by the Mavericks to win 106-99 and move one victory away from setting a record 18th NBA championship. After comfortable victories at home, the Celtics showed strengths in Dallas and on Friday They can remain the most successful in history, along with the Los Angeles Lakers
Brown was, without a doubt, the figure of the night, because in addition to his effectiveness in shooting, he finished with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. The Celtics, with a 3-0 lead, have a lot of room to be the best of the season.
Boston, a team that breaks records
Boston also extended its franchise record by achieving its tenth win in the playoffs and went 7-0 as a visitor this postseason.. He can win the series and break the tie with the Lakers on the list for most NBA titles in history.
Likewise, the Celtics improved to 10-1 in these playoffs in games from which Kristaps Porzingis is absent. The Latvian was ruled out a couple of hours before the match due to a rare ailment in a tendon in his left calf, suffered in the second game. Porzingis’ status for the rest of the series is unknown, and perhaps it won’t matter as much.
Docic got out of control and now depends on a miracle
The story of the third game began to be defined with the departure of Luka Doncic due to personal fouls. He made four in the last quarter and the Mavericks lost their great figure, who went to the bench with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Kyrie Irving finally appeared in the series and finished with 35 points, although they were not enough.
None of the previous 156 teams that have been down 3-0 have managed to win an NBA playoff series. It is true that streaks must be broken, but this final has a clear dominator and that is why the Celtics are ready to celebrate.
