The Celtics shot 49 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers, distributing 27 assists across the roster compared to Dallas's 21. Boston's defense was the decisive factor, holding the Mavericks to 41.6 percent shooting and forcing a defensive rating advantage of 105.6 to 113.2. Collin Flagg paced Dallas with 36 points in a losing effort, though the Mavericks managed only nine three-pointers and scored just 15 points in the second quarter—the quarter that effectively determined the game's outcome.
