Jrue Holiday finishes with 26 points and 11 rebounds as the Boston Celtics defeat the Dallas Mavericks 105-98 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Jrue Holiday had 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Jayson Tatum made up for a rough shooting night with 12 assists and nine rebounds as the Boston Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks 105-98 on Sunday night to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Luka Doncic, who was listed as questionable to play less than two hours before the opening tipoff, scored 32 points with 11 rebounds and 11 assists — the first NBA Finals triple-double in Mavericks franchise history.
They have won the previous eight, and have never been forced to a Game 7 in any of them. Jaylen Brown scored 21 points, Tatum had 18 and Derrick White also scored 18 points for top-seeded Boston. Kristaps Porzingis limped his way to 12 points. Tatum was 6 for 22 shooting and one of seven from three-point range; the Celtics were 10 for 39 from long distance overall.
