The Larry O’Brien trophy is in the building for Game 4.
The Mavericks host the Celtics at American Airlines Center, hoping to avoid a sweep in the 2024 NBA Finals.
Boston is one win away from raising an NBA-record 18th championship banner after holding off Dallas’ late fourth-quarter comeback in Game 3. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 61 points to fend off a 35-point eruption from Kyrie Irving and take a historically insurmountable 3-0 series lead.
Luka Doncic’s defense has been a major talking point between games, as Boston continuously targeted the Mavericks’ weakest link. The star guard has had some magical offensive performances in this series, but he’ll need to step up on both ends if Dallas is going to be the first team to ever pull off a reverse sweep.
Will the Mavericks extend the series another game, or will the Celtics finish the job on the road?
The Sporting News has you covered with live updates, highlights, and more from all the action in Game 4.
