Luka Doncic stated that the team’s trust in their ability to win is crucial because without it, they would not be able to pull off the historic comeback against the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. The Mavericks are trying to make history by defeating them 3-0.
“Yeah we talk about it,” Luka Doncic said, via NBA TV. “I think the most important thing to show is we believe. I think we showed in Game 4. If we wouldn’t believe, we probably wouldn’t have won that game, so I think obviously it’s easy to talk about it, but showing is another thing.
The Mavericks’ formula for a historic 3-0 victory over the Celtics The Mavericks’ 122-84 victory in Game 4 was the recipe for success, even though it may have come too little, too late. Doncic had a game-high 29 points, followed in double figures by Kyrie Irving with 21 and Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dante Exum with double digits from the bench. In addition, the Mavericks played excellent defense to limit the Celtics to 84 points. Dallas’ task of repeating that performance on the road in Game 5 will be more difficult, but if it can pull off the victory, the pressure on the Celtics will increase.
The Celtics have been the best NBA team all season, as previously stated. They won 64 games during the regular season and had little difficulty going through the Eastern Conference Playoffs. In the first two rounds, Boston easily defeated the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers in five games. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Boston swept the Indiana Pacers. Because of Doncic and Irving together, the Mavericks were seen as the biggest challenge Boston had faced to date. Nevertheless, most fans would have signed up for that scenario before the series began, and the Celtics undoubtedly feel good about having the opportunity to finish the series at home in Game 5.
The pressure is on the Celtics since they entered the playoffs and these NBA Finals as favorites. This team has come very close to winning the entire Boston tournament. That’s why there would be a lot of anxiety leading up to Game 6 in Dallas if they lost Game 5. Doncic and the Mavericks currently need to concentrate on winning Game 5 on Monday night.
