NBA Finals: Luka Doncic's unforgettable performance in the NBA Finals saw the Mavericks leading by 13 after the first quarter. By halftime, they had doubled their lead to 26 points and later expanded it to a 38-point advantage in the third quarter.
Luka Doncic, who had been criticized for his first three Finals games against Boston, erupted for 29 points in Game 4, saving Dallas from being swept 0–4.
Enlivened by his 25 points in the first half and the team's other star, Kyrie Irving's 21 points, the Mavericks stretched out the NBA season to no less than another game in the wake of securing a 122–84 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Doncic's most memorable half exhibition implied that the Mavs were driving by 13 after the first quarter.
They doubled that advantage to 26 points by halftime and extended their lead to a 38-point deficit in the third quarter.
By the fourth quarter, the Mavericks’ advantage had grown to 48 points. It was the kind of game that left fans wondering how the first three contests had become so one-sided in Boston’s favor.
According to The Associated Press, the Mavericks’ 38-point win ranked as the third-largest margin in NBA Finals history—behind only the Bulls’ 96–54 rout of the Jazz in 1998 and the Celtics’ 131–92 blowout of the Lakers in 2008.
Game 5 is in Boston on Monday, so the franchise can seal the title before their home fans.
The Celtics entered Game 4 believing they could become the first team in NBA history to complete consecutive 4–0 sweeps—first in the Eastern Conference finals, then in the NBA Finals.
The loss closes a streak that the Celtics had of 10 straight wins in the postseason.
Should the Boston Celtics bring home the championship, it will push them one title forward of long-lasting main adversaries from the West, the Los Angeles Lakers, at 18 titles (presently the two teams have 17).
