The greatest of all NBA team records may reside in Boston by night’s end. The Boston Celtics can win their 18th NBA championship Friday in Dallas, finally breaking the tie with their long-time rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers. They’re one win away after Wednesday’s back-breaking win over the Dallas Mavericks.
For Jaylen Brown, it could be another big milestone. Already the NBA’s highest paid player, Brown could very well wind up as the MVP of the Finals. As for Luka Doncic, subject of criticism for his poor defense, a win would help him redeem himself.
