Im almost positive The Mavericks will be kicking themselves after failing to steal home-court advantage for the second game in a row and for not kicking up and playing as a team in Boston!
Luka Doncic led the way with a triple-double of 32 points with 11 rebounds and 11 assists on 12 of 21 shooting, PJ Washington added 17 points while Kyrie Irving chipped in with 16 points and six assists. Doncic was having a terrific game until he went cold in the fourth quarter, but the Mavericks got just 16 points out of Irving and their bench combined for just nine points in a disappointing effort.
As a team, the Mavericks shot 47 percent from the field and six of 26 from the 3-point line as they rallied late in the fourth quarter to make it look like they were able to steal the game, but the Celtics finished with a strong performance and stole that hoe from the Mavericks right back! Home Court really make a difference for the Mavericks and we see the rest of this team step up and help Luka moving forward?

Can The Boston Celtics
dominate in Dallas?
After the Celtics have won their first two home games to start the series off. They now have to go into hostile territory and play the Mavericks on their home Court. Are the Celtics capable of staying as dominant as they were in the first two games now that they’re on the road?
We all know The Boston Celtics now have their eyes on taking a kill shot at the Mavs and take a 3-0 series lead after beating on the Mavericks in a 105-98 win in Game 2 on Sunday.
Jrue Holiday led the team in scoring with 26 points on 11 of 14 shooting, Jaylen Brown added 21 points with seven assists, while Jayson Tatum tallied 18 points with nine rebounds and 12 assists.
As a team, the Celtics shot 45 percent from the field and 10 of 39 from the 3-point line but this win was again about their defense as they were able to keep the Mavericks' Luka Doncic to just three points in the fourth quarter where the Mavericks cut a 14-point deficit to just five points late in the contest. Can they continue to be this dominant through the rest of the series? I guess we’re gonna find out tonight!
Boston Celtics Player Facts
Jrue Holiday ranks 2nd in the Eastern Conference amongst qualified players for 3P% (42.9%) this season.
Derrick White is one of only four qualified players in the league averaging at least 1.0 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks this season.

Game Prediction
The Pick: Mavericks ML -130
The Prop: Lively Over 7.5 Pts -120
If you watched Game two of this series it will be no surprise to you that The Celtics could be without Kristaps Porzingis for this game, he is currently listed as questionable with a lower leg injury. The Mavericks should be at full strength and ready to roll, even with Doncic listed as probable after he was listed as a game-time decision on Sunday, we all know Luka is suiting up tonight.
The Celtics were good enough to hang on for the crucial win in Game 2 despite a poor shooting night from the 3-point line. The Celtics played excellent defense when it mattered most and are now just two wins away from a championship. The Mavericks put up a much better fight on Sunday, but they just couldn't make enough baskets with Doncic misfiring in the fourth quarter.
The series now shifts to Dallas, so I am expecting the Mavericks' role players to step up here, but I don't think it will be enough if Irving has another quiet game. The Celtics have been the better team so far in this series, but they could be missing Porzingis, so I am leaning towards the Mavericks who are not only playing for their championship lives tonight but for their respect in this series.
