BOSTON – The simple fact is that the Mavericks now must win four of the next five games, or four in a row if you want to think really optimistically, to finish this season as NBA champions.
So we’re telling you there’s a chance.
But based on the way the Boston Celtics have played in going ahead 2-0 after Sunday’s 105-98 victory at TD Garden, it is testing the faith of the Mavericks’ believers.
The odds certainly are against them. Boston hasn’t lost four of five this season.
