Boston Celtics' Depth Proves Too Much for Dallas Mavericks
Mavs' Luka-Kyrie Duo Fails to Deliver, Celtics Ground Mavs Bigs
Unholy Beatdown: Mavs Dominate Celtics in Game 7
The Boston Celtics proved their depth once again in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 122-84 to win the championship. The Celtics were led by a balanced scoring attack, with seven players scoring in double figures. Jayson Tatum led the way with 26 points, while Jaylen Brown added 24 and Marcus Smart contributed 20. The Mavericks were led by Luka Doncic's 22 points, but he struggled from the field, shooting just 8-of-23. Kyrie Irving added 19 points, but he also shot poorly, going 7-of-20 from the field.
The Celtics jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. They led by 15 points at the end of the first quarter and stretched their lead to 25 points by halftime. The Mavericks never got closer than 10 points in the second half, as the Celtics' defense proved to be too much for Dallas' high-powered offense.
The Celtics' victory is a testament to their depth and versatility. They were able to withstand a poor shooting night from Tatum and Brown by getting contributions from their role players. The Mavericks, on the other hand, were too reliant on Doncic and Irving, and they struggled to generate offense when those two players were not at their best.
