NBA Finals Game 3 result: Boston Celtics win 106-99
The Celtics’ dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown scored a combined 61 points to lead Boston to a 106-99 win in Game 3 of the NBA Finals and in the process take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.
Dallas jumped out to an early 10-point lead, but Boston erased all but a point of it by the end of the 1st Quarter. The game remained close until the 3rd Quarter when Boston clamped down on Dallas and broke out of a shooting slump to build a 21-point lead.
Luka Doncic and the Mavericks battled back in the 4th going on a 20-2 run to pull within three but their momentum screeched to a halt when Luka Doncic was called for his 6th foul with 4:12 remaining in the game. The Mavericks continued to fight but could not overcome the shooting and defense of the Celtics.
Kyrie Irving led all scorers in Game 3 with 35 points. Tatum tallied 31. Brown was 12-22 from the field for 30 points and Doncic had 27 before fouling out in the 4th.
