Boston Takes 2-0 Series Lead

The Boston Celtics have seized a 2-0 series lead in the NBA Finals after a Game 2 win over the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night. The Celtics' depth proved too much for Dallas, as the Luka-Kyrie duo struggled and the Celtics ground the Mavs bigs.

Key Stats

Luka Doncic led the Mavericks with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Celtics' balanced attack. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 25 points, followed by Jaylen Brown with 23 points and 7 rebounds, and Marcus Smart with 22 points and 5 assists.

Conclusion

The Celtics' victory puts the Mavericks in a difficult position.

Game 3 of the series will be played in Dallas on Wednesday night.
