In the first quarter, the Maverick took a 13-point lead, which made the situation very passive for the Celtics. In the following game, the Maverick continued to maintain a high intensity defense and efficient offense, while the Celtics could not find an effective way to crack. By the second quarter, the difference was further widened, and by the end of the half, the Maverick had a 26-point lead.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, continued their steady performance and kept expanding their lead. In the end, the game lost its suspense early in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks ended the game with a big win.

The Celtics, on the other hand, performed poorly on the offensive end, shooting a low percentage of shots from the field and an even worse percentage of three-pointers.
For the Mavericks, this win was certainly a huge boost. It not only allowed the team to avoid the embarrassment of being swept, but also allowed the team to regain confidence. The performance of Doncic and Irving was especially eye-catching, and their individual ability and leadership laid a solid foundation for the team's victory.

The team's offense and defense need to be improved, otherwise it is difficult to turn the tide in the next game.
Overall, this game proved once again how brutal and competitive the NBA Finals can be. No team can afford to take it lightly, or else they may face the danger of being eliminated. For the Mavericks, they have seized the last chance and need to go all out to make a miracle in the next game. As for the Celtics, they need to adjust their status as soon as possible to meet the next challenge, and strive to realize the dream of winning the championship at home.
