WEB: Boston's Depth Proves Too Much for Dallas, Mavs' Luka-Kyrie Duo Struggles
Boston's Firepower on Display
The Boston Celtics put on a shooting clinic in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, with seven players knocking down multiple three-pointers. This offensive outburst proved to be too much for the Dallas Mavericks, who struggled to keep pace with Boston's firepower.
Mavs' Duo Falters
The much-hyped duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined for just 31 points on 10-of-32 shooting in Game 3. This underwhelming performance allowed the Celtics to focus their defense on other Mavericks players, who were unable to consistently contribute.
Celtics Control the Boards
In addition to their three-point barrage, the Celtics also dominated the rebounding battle. They outrebounded the Mavericks by 51 to 36, including a significant advantage on the offensive glass. This allowed them to generate second-chance opportunities and extend their lead.
Outlook for Game 4
With the Celtics now holding a 2-1 lead in the series, Game 4 on Tuesday night is crucial for both teams. Dallas needs a win to regain momentum, while Boston can put themselves in a commanding position with another victory. The Celtics' impressive depth and ability to shoot from anywhere on the court make them a formidable opponent, but the Mavericks still have hope if Doncic and Irving can turn things around.
