Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks Game Summary

The first seven minutes of the first quarter between the Celtics and Dallas Mavericks were largely an exchange of baskets. The desperate hosts, however, sprinted to a 19-7 run to end the period. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving got off to another fast start to give Dallas a 34-21 advantage after the first 12 minutes ended.

Unlike in Game 3 where the hot start fizzled in the second quarter, the Mavericks wouldn't let it happen on Friday night. The Mavs' onslaught continued to batter the reeling C's. The sweep is unlikely to happen with how the first half turned out.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown carried the fight for Boston but had very little in the way of support. They combined for 23 points, two less than what Luka Doncic dropped. The Celtics faced a daunting 61-35 deficit heading into the second half.

The Dallas Mavericks didn't let up, mindful that the Boston Celtics could bounce back with a big third quarter. Jason Kidd's chargers kept their energy and focus despite the big lead to continue drubbing the visitors. The win became inevitable when the lead ballooned to 48 points.

The final quarter was a march to the end by the Mavericks. Boston's third-stringers were already in the game, so Kidd emptied his bench. After suffering three straight losses, Dallas remained alive in the NBA Finals with an overwhelming 122-84 win in Game 4.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving 3-pointers tonight

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had a rough night from behind the arc on Friday night, combining to make 2-for-9 3-pointers.

Meanwhile, Luka Doncic was even more terrible from the same distance, missing all eight attempts. Kyrie Irving was only a tad better, hitting 1-of-6 tries from beyond 22 feet.
