2024 Celtics vs. Mavericks Finals: Boston's Depth Sinks Dallas

Unstoppable Celtics Ground Mavericks' Duo

Boston's depth proved too much for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals, as the Celtics took Game 1 of the series with a dominant performance.

Despite the star power of Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving, the Mavericks struggled to keep up with the balanced attack of the Celtics, who received contributions from across their roster.

The Celtics' bench outscored the Mavericks' reserves by a wide margin, highlighting the team's unparalleled depth. Payton Pritchard led the way with 15 points, while Grant Williams and Derrick White added 12 each.

The Mavericks' defense, which had been a strength throughout the playoffs, was unable to contain the Celtics' potent offense. Boston shot 53% from the field and connected on 15 three-pointers, a testament to their offensive execution.

With the Celtics holding a 1-0 lead, the series shifts to Dallas for Game 2. The Mavericks will need to find a way to stop Boston's balanced attack and get more support for their star duo if they hope to even the series.
