BOSTON — After seeing a 19-point lead in the first half dwindle away before surviving Monday night’s trip to Philadelphia with a 92-86 victory over the winless 76ers, the Dallas Mavericks know they’ll have to put together a much more complete four quarters in order to take down one of the NBA’s hottest teams.
Looking to build on Monday’s victory and extend their overall winning streak to five in a row, the Mavericks (7-4) will conclude a three-game road trip Wednesday night in Boston. Meanwhile, the Mavs will try to cool the Celtics (6-4) down following three straight impressive wins themselves.
