Boston Celtics Extend NBA Finals Lead to 3-0

Hot Start Propels Celtics to Victory

The Boston Celtics have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the 2024 NBA Finals after a hard-fought 106-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 3. The Celtics surged to an early lead and held on to their advantage throughout the contest, despite a valiant comeback effort from Dallas in the fourth quarter.

Jayson Tatum Leads the Way

Jayson Tatum was once again the catalyst for the Celtics, pouring in a game-high 30 points on 10-of-18 shooting. He was ably supported by Jaylen Brown (25 points) and Al Horford (16 points, 15 rebounds). Luka Dončić paced the Mavericks with 26 points, but he received limited help from his supporting cast.
