It was played in a boisterous environment, very hostile to the Celtics, and the Mavs used it to bite. The Texans defied logic in the fourth quarter, but couldn't complete a streak for years. They marked the territory with a rough start and Irving was determined to enter the series. Kyrie made a tackle and Doncic hit a triple to set the pace for the match. The Mavs escaped with a 9-2 run less than two minutes later, and Mazzulla didn't hesitate to stop the game as time went on.

Irving, who entered the contest after going 0 for 8 on three-pointers, stepped on the accelerator and the Mavs took an early 25-12 lead.

Given the scoring pace of Doncic and Irving and the lack of offensive support in Tatum (20 points) Brown (6) or Holiday (4), Mazzulla had reasons to smile in the locker room.

The Mavs only took two shots from the arc with a 50% success rate.

And the Celtics thought they won it. That's when the Boston blackout happened. The Mavs, no longer under pressure, jumped out to a 10-0 lead with 2.43 minutes left and got their fans back into the game. The Celtics got completely bogged down and the Texans reopened a contest that seemed closed with a devastating 20-2 run that left them within three points after Irving's three free throws.

However, in what turned out to be a thriller on the Celtics' winning streak, there wasn't a new surprise. With 4:12 left, Doncic tackled Brown while trying to get into the paint and committed his sixth foul. Kidd requested a review, without success.
