Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks, live and direct
Full Time. Boston Celtics won 138-110.
4th quarter, 3:55. Game defined at the TD Garden: triple by Al Horford to make it 127-103 and it was all over in favor of the Celtics, who killed the chances of Dallas reacting in a final quarter in which the Mavericks are doing terrible. The coaches put the substitutes on the court and the Boston fans celebrate by singing against Kyrie Irving.
4th quarter, 6:30. Not even in what seems like it will be a game with 40 points and a triple-double from Doncic, can the Mavericks at least tickle a Boston team that works like a machine to defend and attack.
4th quarter, 7:15. Boston’s defense on Doncic shines from one side and also generates the counterattack for Payton Pritchard’s triple. The difference between the locals now exceeds 20 points.
4th quarter, 9:35. Impressive layup by Brown after a 360º in front of Lively and then a triple in Lively’s face. 109-92 for the Celtics.

3rd quarter, 5:00. Dallas had gotten closer to two points, but the Celtics’ attack flows more, there’s a reason why they are the best in the league. Triples from Brown and Tatum in transition and the locals went to 87-79, already with 20 points from each of their stars.
3rd quarter, 8:30. The rain of triples from one side and the other returned, but now those from Dallas enter like those from Boston. Consecutive three-pointers by PJ Washington were answered by Tatum and White. The Celtics win 77-70.
End of the 2nd quarter. Boston wins 66-59. What the Celtics added from the perimeter, with 10 triples, Dallas has compensated a little with 6 more points in the painted zone despite having scored just 5 triples in 20 shots. Doncic has 23 points, Irving 10, and Boston already has four players with 11 points or more.
2nd quarter, 3:00. Tatum appeared in the game and once again gives Boston considerable distance: nine points from JT in four consecutive attacks by the Celtics who win 57-46.
2nd quarter, 7:00. 6-0 for the Mavs to return everything to how it was at the end of the first quarter, with Boston winning by just two possessions difference (48-42). Doncic is left free to attack from the shot or also finding Lively twice in the painted zone and this is how the Mavericks react despite still being weak in the triple, at 4-18.
Lively II everywhere in Boston!

2nd quarter, 9:00. Boston extends its lead to double digits again, with an interesting entry from Tillman and the second unit working around Tatum even though the forward is not the one taking the shots.
End of the 1st quarter. Despite having made seven triples and the poor shooting percentages in which they left their rival (40% from the field), Boston wins by a 38-32 that seems little, already with 13 points from Porzingis. In the Mavs, almost everything has fallen on Doncic, with 16 points, and the two triples that Hardaway added from the bench.
1st quarter, 5:05. The 2-9 in triples is making it difficult for Dallas, without a good game from Kyrie for now, while the Celtics are adding to it with Brown’s attacks to the basket. Tatum has not yet pitched in the game. 27-19 for Boston.
1st quarter, 7:55. The pace of the game is frenetic, with one basket after another. Doncic already has nine points, but Boston wins 18-12 with 4-5 in triples thanks to baskets from Porzingis and Holiday.
