The Boston Celtics took a 2-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks after an exciting back-and-forth Game 2 in Boston, and now history is on their side. Teams leading 2-0 in the Finals are 31-5 all-time, and the Celtics have a 43-1 series record when leading a best-of-7 2-0 (their only loss was in the 2018 East finals).
Now the Mavericks will head to American Airlines Center for Games 3 and 4, where they are 5-3 so far during these playoffs.
After a slow start in the series opener, the Mavericks came out firing in Game 2, taking a 13-6 lead in the first quarter, their largest lead of the night before Boston took the lead in the second quarter.
