The Boston Celtics are on the brink of their first NBA title since 2008, having secured a 3-0 series lead over the Dallas Mavericks with a road victory in Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals.
Despite holding a commanding 91-70 lead early in the fourth quarter, the Celtics faced a fierce comeback from the Mavericks, who went on a 22-2 run to cut the deficit to a single point. However, the Mavericksβ momentum faltered when star player Luka Doncic fouled out with four minutes remaining, allowing the Celtics to hold on for the win.
Jayson Tatum delivered his best performance of the Finals, scoring 31 points, while Jaylen Brown contributed a near triple-double with 30 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. The Celtics overcame the absence of center Kristaps Porzingis, who missed the game due to a rare leg injury sustained in Game 2.
On the Mavericks’ side, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined for an impressive 62 points out of the teamβs total of 99. P.J. Washington was the next highest scorer for Dallas with 13 points.
As the Celtics look to complete a sweep and secure the championship, the Mavericks are aiming to extend their season and avoid elimination.
