All right.

Game two is in the books.

The Boston Celtics have defeated the Dallas Mavericks 105 to 98 in game two of the NBA finals taking a commanding 20 series lead.

The game ball goes to Dr Holiday 26 points with 11 boards and three assists.

This Boston Celtics team, it just continues to be a well oiled machine.

We saw Kap Sporing be the X factor in game one tonight.

It was Jrue Holiday as well as Derek White who continued to hit clutch threes and had a game saving block in transition in crunch time.

Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown shot a combined 38% from the field.

That’s usually what would amount to a good thing for the Dallas Mavericks but the turnovers, the missed free throws and Kyrie Irving shooting just 35% over the first two games is what’s really hurting this Dallas Mavericks team.

You can’t ask much more from Luka Donic 32 points, a triple double and he came out had 13 1st quarter points to really set the tone for this team in game two despite coming in the game questionable.

The Dallas Mavericks have to tighten up.

They’re gonna have to get more scoring and shoot more threes if they’re gonna keep up with the Boston Celtics heading into game three on Wednesday night.
