The Celtics on Friday failed to close the door on the Mavericks’ season and earn their first title since 2008. Instead, Dallas dominated Boston in Game 4 and extended the season to Monday night.
Unlike in Games 1-3, the Celtics failed to control the tempo from the opening tip. Luka Doncic led the way with 29 points, and the Mavericks took away Boston’s deadly perimeter shooting. The 38-point win was the largest margin of victory for a Finals game in more two decades.
Below is a complete guide to listening to Game 5 of the NBA Finals as the Celtics try again to close out the Mavericks and secure a championship, this time at home.
