Celtics Defeat Mavericks 107-89
Boston's Depth Proves Too Much for Dallas
Luka-Kyrie Duo Struggles, Celtics Ground Mavs Bigs
In a highly anticipated matchup, the Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks 107-89 on June 6, 2024. Despite a strong start by Dallas, Boston's depth and defensive prowess proved too much to overcome.
The Mavericks were led by Luka Dončić's 27 points and 10 rebounds, while Kyrie Irving added 22 points. However, the Celtics countered with a balanced scoring attack, as five players scored in double figures. Jaylen Brown led the way with 25 points, followed by Jayson Tatum with 22 and Kristaps Porzingis with 20.
The Celtics also dominated the boards, outrebounding the Mavericks 50-34. Porzingis, who recently returned from a calf injury, was particularly effective on the glass, grabbing 12 rebounds.
The victory was a testament to the Celtics' depth and versatility. With Porzingis back in the lineup, they now have a formidable frontcourt that can match up with any team in the league. The Mavericks, on the other hand, will need to find a way to improve their bench production if they want to be a serious contender in the playoffs.
The Celtics will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Miami Heat on Wednesday, while the Mavericks will face the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
