Key Moment
Boston’s effort left something to be desired during the opening minutes of the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against the Mavericks. That effort may have cost it a chance at a win.
A momentum-swinging series of events took place less than two minutes into the final quarter. While trailing by only five points, the Celtics stood and watched consecutive misses by Dallas, and that allowed the Mavs to sneak in for consecutive offensive rebounds.
As luck would have it, those two offensive rebounds led to three big points for Dallas that fueled a strong finish of its 113-104 win.
