The Dallas Mavericks handed the Boston Celtics their third loss of the postseason, turning a potential championship coronation into a night they made history of their own.

The Dallas Mavericks extended their season, getting on the board in the NBA Finals, with a win at home to make it a 3-1 series going back to TD Garden on Monday. They handed the Boston Celtics their third loss of the postseason, turning a potential championship coronation into a night they made history of their own.“Give them credit,” Jayson Tatum said postgame. “They played well tonight and we didn't. We had the right mindset and right intentions.

“Close-out games are hard,” Jaylen Brown said. “Close-out games are tough. They always have been like that, and you've got to have extreme focus. You've got to come out and meet their intensity to finish things out. So we didn't do that tonight.” “Give credit to Dallas,” Brown said. “I thought they played extremely well. Those guys, they crashed, they rebounded and they played with force. Some of those other guys stepped up. We've got to be better and we've got to have some of our guys step up, and that's what it takes.”

“They played extremely hard,” Jrue Holiday said. “They played desperate, and we've got to do the same.”
