BOSTON – Somehow, the Mavericks saved their best for last on the season’s longest trip.
And their best was absolutely sensational.
On the same court where they suffered heartbreak nine months ago in the NBA Finals, the Mavericks took out some aggression and spanked the Boston Celtics 127-120 Thursday night at TD Garden.
And the outcome wasn’t the only thing that changed drastically for the Mavericks since the last time they were in Boston, on June 17 when the Celtics finished them off in Game 5 of the Finals.
Anthony Davis, the new Maverick centerpiece with Kyrie Irving, did not play.
