NBA Finals: Boston Escape Late Mavericks Rally To Take 2-0 Lead At Home

By IANS News June 10, 2024 • 12:42 PM View: 919

NBA Finals: Dallas Mavericks' hopes for a quick turnaround in the NBA Finals were dashed on Sunday night as the Boston Celtics emerged victorious 105-98 in Game 2.

Despite a strong showing from Luka Doncic and early dominance, Dallas couldn't overcome Boston's defensive pressure and clutch plays down the stretch.

The win gives the Celtics a commanding 2-0 series lead, historically a strong position with teams holding a 31-5 record in such situations.
