Boston Celtics Take 3-0 Lead in NBA Finals

Dallas Mavericks Mount Comeback Attempt, But Boston Holds On

Key Moment: Luka Doncic's Sixth Foul

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. Despite a spirited comeback attempt from Dallas, the Celtics held on to secure the win.

The key moment in the game came in the fourth quarter when Dallas superstar Luka Doncic was whistled for his sixth foul. Doncic had been a major force for the Mavericks throughout the series, but his absence from the game significantly weakened Dallas' chances.

With Doncic out of the game, the Celtics were able to capitalize on their momentum and close out the victory. Jaylen Brown led the way for Boston with 28 points, while Jayson Tatum added 26 points.

The Mavericks will now need to regroup and find a way to turn things around in Game 4. If they can't bounce back and win, the Celtics will have a chance to sweep the series and capture their 18th NBA championship.
