That the Dallas Mavericks were going to make NBA history, haha. The Boston Celtics completely outmatched Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and company in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, ending their incredible postseason run with a 106-88 thumping at TD Garden.
The Mavericks completely destroyed the Celtics to avoid elimination in the third-largest Finals blowout in history on Friday, adding fuel to Dallas’ hopes of a long-shot comeback against Boston with a title on the line. Could Jason Kidd’s team really pull off the impossible and become the first team in playoff history to overcome a 0–3 deficit?
The Mavs appeared to genuinely think they had a strong chance, and Game 4 gave them the direction and impetus they required to succeed. But in the end, Boston was simply the superior team—partially due to the fact that Irving was well below average when Dallas most needed him. In the midst of the Mavericks’ disappointment, Irving swiftly moved to Twitter to emphasize the need to look beyond the immediate situation, while Finals MVP Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and company celebrated on the court. “Tribe, stick together through thick and thin. through the highs and lows, victories and defeats, triumphs and setbacks. Hold your head high. Our mission is greater than ourselves. I cherish each and every one of you!
