NBA Finals: Jrue Holiday takes center stage as Celtics fend off late Mavericks rally for 2-0 series lead

The Dallas Mavericks bounced back from a Game 1 blowout Sunday night with a big game from Luka Donu010diu0107 and an improved effort from the field.

It didn’t matter.

The Boston Celtics overcame poor shooting from 3 and from Jayson Tatum to secure a 105-98 win in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. They now hold a 2-0 series lead as the series sets to shift to Dallas for Game 3.

Boston won Game 1 after blowing the game open with a 58-29 second-quarter lead and never letting Dallas sniff the lead from there.
