DALLAS (USA) – Three served and 18th NBA title one step away for i Boston Celtics, who beat the Dallas Mavericks on their field (99-106) in game 3 of the playoff final thus flying to 3-0 in the series, just one victory away from a record-breaking triumph (in fact they would break away from the Lakers, stuck at 17 titles).
Boston passes to Dallas and flies to 3-0: NBA title one step away
Having reached +21 at the beginning of the last quarter, the Celtics suffered an amazing comeback from the Mavericks who thus returned to the game, only to give in at the end under the blows of Tatum (31 points) and Brown (30) also thanks to the sixth foul by a nervous Doncic, thus forced to exit in the decisive phase of the match. And Irving’s 35 points in Dallas were not enough to avoid Boston’s third success, even without Porzingis they fly to 3-0 in the series, achieving their tenth victory in a row: one more will be enough to get the 18th ring in history (the last one is from 2008).
The story is with the Celtics: the Mavs need a feat
It is the second time that Boston has found itself at 3-0 in an NBA final after the one against the Los Angeles Lakers in 1959 and then closed it in game 4. I will try again tomorrow night (June 14), again at the American Airlines Centeragainst a Dallas that has nothing to lose but with the weight of the statistics clearly in favor of the Celtics: none of the 156 teams that have found themselves down 3-0 in an NBA playoff series have ever managed to overturn the situation.
