Dallas Mavericks bank on miraculous victory after epic triumph
NBA Championship Series Stretches Out: Dallas Mavericks Score Impressive Win Against Boston Celtics, Bolstering Hope for Remarkable Recovery
In a significant turn of events, the Dallas Mavericks expanded the NBA Finals contest with a dominant performance, leaving the Boston Celtics waiting for the championship celebrations. The fourth match of the series witnessed the previous team of Dirk Nowitzki accomplish a 122:84 victory, sparking enthusiasm for the most accomplished German basketball player ever. "We've got the heart. If we can maintain this momentum, we'll see what we can achieve in Boston," Nowitzki commented on American television. "Game 3 didn't go as we anticipated. It's good we played well today and gained some self-assurance."
The initial three games all ended in losses for the Mavericks, and another defeat would have concluded the series in favor of the Boston Celtics, who would have been the solitary record holders of the world's top basketball league with 18 championships. They currently share this title with the Los Angeles Lakers, who have won 17 championships.
"We can't afford to lose anymore. We'll keep believing until the end. Our energy was much stronger, and we played much faster," said Mavs-Star Luka Doncic, who scored 29 points. "We've got to play the same way in the fifth game in Boston on Monday night. We know how tough that will be." No team in the Finals has ever come back from a 0:3 deficit.
"Step-by-Step"
For the first time in the Finals, the Mavericks managed to restrain the Celtics' offensive pair of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The Mavericks led by 13 points at the end of the first quarter, and the advantage grew to 26 points at halftime - expanding further to 48 points at one point. Both teams' stars were already on the bench, preserving energy for the fifth game in Boston. Both coaches started substituting their role players before the end of the third quarter.
Kyrie Irving registered 21 points for the Mavericks. Maxi Kleber scored 5 points and enhanced the defensive performance of the home team. At halftime, the Celtics had scored a mere 35 points. "Boston is a difficult team to compete against. We faced challenges in our matches with them," Nowitzki commented. "It's a step-by-step approach. You always aim to win the next game. We need to prolong this series as much as we can."
