WEB: Boston's Resilience, Dallas' Struggles

Boston Celtics' superior depth proved too much for the Dallas Mavericks as they secured a commanding 2-0 lead in the 2024 NBA Finals.

Despite a strong start by the Luka Doncic-Kyrie Irving duo, the Celtics' balanced attack and suffocating defense ultimately ground down the Mavericks' big men.

The Celtics' Game 2 victory was highlighted by a crucial 2-minute span in the fourth quarter. After the Mavericks had tied the game, Boston responded with a 10-0 run to regain control.

The Celtics' depth and versatility were on full display as they received key contributions from Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford, who combined for 44 points.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, struggled to find consistency. Doncic and Irving both scored over 20 points, but they were unable to carry the team to victory.

The series now shifts to Dallas for Game 3 on Wednesday. The Mavericks face an uphill battle, but the NBA Finals are often filled with unexpected twists and turns.
