NBA Finals
Doncic show not enough for Mavs against Boston
The Boston Celtics have also won the second game of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. The record champions prevailed 105:98 on Sunday evening (local time) in the second home game of the series. This means that Dallas is already under great pressure ahead of its two home games on Wednesday and Friday.
Even a strong Luka Doncic was not able to prevent another defeat for the Texans. The Slovenian once again contributed a triple-double with 32 points, eleven rebounds and eleven assists. It was the first ever in the history of the Mavs in a finals series.
Jrue Holiday stood out for the Celtics with 26 points and eleven rebounds. In contrast to their opponents, the 17-time champions showed great team unity.
Jaylen Brown (21 points) and Jayson Tatum (18 points, twelve assists) also played their part in the win. Derrick White (18 points) blocked an attempt by P.J. Washington with 50 seconds remaining to finally put Boston on course for victory. Apart from Doncic, no Dallas player was able to impress. Kyrie Irving disappointed with just 16 points.
Coach Kidd combative
"We're not beaten, we're thinking positively. This is a team that believes," said Dallas coach Jason Kidd about the mood in his team. Boston last won the championship in 2008. This year, the team from the east coast was already the strongest team in the basic round.
