DALLAS– Vacation plans are on hold until after the Mavericks returned to dominant form in a must-win Game 4 of the NBA Finals, throttling the Boston Celtics in an emphatic 122-84 victory.
Luka Doncic had 29 points and most of his production came in the first half while Kyrie Irving scored 21 to lead Dallas to a victory that prevents it from getting swept.
Game 5 will take place in Boston on Monday when the Celtics try to wrap things up at home. But look at Dallas, which had life on Friday after the first three games of this best-of-seven series saw Boston being every bit as dominant.
The script flipped in Game 4. The Mavericks, led by Doncic’s first bucket in the photo above, got off to an early lead and never looked back. Luka Doncic scored on a floater to start the game-turning run and closed with another driving layup as the Mavericks took a 25-14 lead with 3:19 remaining in first. Till did not SHOW US the way – he certainly showed himself what was oncoming.
