Mavericks NBA Finals Game 2 Highlights

Celtics Move to the Brink of Another Championship

The Boston Celtics are one win away from their 18th NBA title after defeating the Dallas Mavericks 105-98 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Dominant Third Quarter Fuels Celtics Victory

The Celtics took control of the game in the third quarter with a dominant 2-minute span that saw them go on an 8-0 run. The Mavericks, who had been trailing by just four points at the half, were unable to keep pace with the Celtics' high-octane offense.

Boston's Defense Shines

The Celtics' defense also played a key role in the victory, holding the Mavericks to just 36.3% shooting from the field. Luka Doncic, the Mavericks' leading scorer, was held to just 18 points on 6-of-18 shooting.

Conclusion

With the series now shifting to Dallas, the Celtics are in a commanding position. However, the Mavericks have shown resilience throughout the playoffs, and they will need to find a way to improve their offense if they want to avoid being swept in four games.
