NBA News: Celtics Edge Closer to NBA Finals, Mavericks' Hope Dwindles
Boston Celtics Take Commanding 3-0 Lead
The Boston Celtics took a commanding 3-0 lead in their Western Conference Finals series against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, putting themselves one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals.
Luka Dončić Fouls Out, Mavericks' Rally Stalls
The game was marred by a controversial foul-out for Mavericks' star Luka Dončić, who was ejected in the fourth quarter after being called for his sixth foul. With Dončić off the court, the Celtics were able to pull away and secure the victory.
Despite the ejection, the Mavericks showed resilience and nearly came back from a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter. However, they ultimately fell short, as the Celtics held on to win 117-107.
The Celtics now have a chance to clinch the series in Game 4 on Sunday in Dallas. If they win, they will advance to the NBA Finals for the second time in three years. The Mavericks, meanwhile, will need to win the next two games to stay alive.
