The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 124-95, snapping the Mavericks’ winning streak at seven.
Luka Doncic, even without playing in the fourth, led Dallas in scoring with 23 points, but the fun spot in the losing effort was the spark from Jaden Hardy who was 5-for-7 from the floor and added 15 points from the bench. The Celtics had 6 players in double digits, but it was – who else – Jason Tatum who led the way with 29.
The Celtics, no doubt determined to put together a better showing than their abysmal outing against the OKC Thunder, were all over Dallas from the jump.
