Celtics Dominate Mavericks to Win NBA Finals Game 5
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown Lead Boston to Victory
Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving Struggle in Game 5
The Boston Celtics proved their depth was too much for the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, as they closed out the first quarter with a 9-0 run and took a 67-46 lead into halftime. Despite a strong performance from Luka Dončić, who scored 26 points, the Mavericks' offense struggled, with Kyrie Irving shooting just 5-of-17 from the field. The Celtics' defense was also effective in grounding the Mavericks bigs, with Al Horford and Robert Williams III combining for 21 rebounds and 10 blocks.
The Celtics' victory gives them a 3-2 lead in the series and puts them one win away from their 18th NBA championship. Game 6 will be played in Boston on Thursday night.
