NBA Finals: super Doncic but Boston still wins

On the night between Wednesday and Thursday; the third act

Boston also won the second act of the NBA Finals. Also at TD Garden, the Celtics won 105-98, thus taking a 2-0 lead in the series. Great team performance by the green-and-whites, dragged by the excellent performance of Holiday, author of 26 points, many of them decisive for the success, and also able to capture 11 valuable rebounds.

Dallas struggled to the end. At the beginning of the last minute of the game, at -5, Washington had a chance to bring the Mavs back to within one possession but è was stopped on the counterattack by Brown and White. At that point, Boston è no longer looked back and celebrated its second NBA Finals victory.

Doncic, despite the monster performance, pointed out what he felt he è lacked: "I think my turnovers and bad free throws cost us the game. I have to do better in these two categories", his words reported by ESPN. Doncic missed eight balls and missed four free throws.

With their backs against the wall, Dallas now returns home to try to turn things around. In Game 3, scheduled for the night between Wednesday and Thursday, they will need a win to avoid saying goodbye to their big dream of winning an NBA ring. "So far we have done what we had to do and è fantastic but we know that being ahead 2-0 does not mean anything", Holiday’s statements.
