On the eve of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, it’s time to look back at the two regular season matchups between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks. If Celtics fans want good news, the Celtics won both matchups to sweep the season series.
The first game was on January 22 where Boston beat Dallas 119-110 in enemy territory. It was the Celtics second game of a back-to-back. Boston got a combined 73 points from their stars Jayson Tatum (39 points) and Jaylen Brown (34) to overpower Dallas.
Dallas was led by a monstrous triple-double from Luka Doncic (33 points, 13 assists, and 18 rebounds) and Kyrie Irving (23 points).
