The Boston Celtics visited the Dallas Mavericks in Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals Wednesday night. Boston held court at home, winning the first two games of the series.

A win Wednesday evening would pretty much put this series on ice. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit to win a best-of-seven in the NBA Playoffs.

Unfortunately for Dallas, it just did not have an answer against what is a better Celtics team. The Mavericks lost at home by the score of 106-99 with them getting no help behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown did their thng for Boston. Here is a look at 10 winners and losers from Boston’s seven-point victory.
