Now trailing the series 3-1, the Mavericks are traveling to Boston for Game 5, with an attempt to secure another victory and bring the series back to Dallas one last time.
To win the NBA Finals, the Mavericks would have to make history, being the first team to come back from a 3-0 deficit in any series, let alone to win a title.June 15, 2024Luka Doncic led the team with 29 points on 12-of-26 shooting, adding five rebounds, five assists and three steals. His defense was improved, and his quick offensive start helped the team cruise to victory. The Mavericks superstar is going to hold onto hope until the Larry O'Brien is hoisted by either team.
"Like I said at the beginning of the series, it's first to four," Doncic said. "We going to believe until the end. So we just got to keep going. I have big belief in this team that we can do it." The Mavericks didn't just steal a victory. They were assertive and earned a blowout win over the Celtics.
