Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics Game 2 Highlights 1st QTR | June 9 | 2024 NBA Finals

as prepared to play as they should be they got beat to a loose ball off the opening tip let’s watch their comportment here to start this game and again the Mavericks have excelled in the game two as they lost game one in the first round the second round on the road came back in one game two on the road both against the Clippers and the Thunder danic gets inside Falling Away first shot is up and good [Music] JJ what was the key as they go down low to holl lifts it up and in what was the key to the to the Boston Celtics defense in game one well they took away the others so much of the Dallas Maverick success in these playoffs has been about the alyu dunk to Gafford and Lively and the corner threes from PJ Washington and Derrik Jones Jr Boston is going to try to make Luca and Kyrie beat them by scoring efficiently and cut everyone else off Kyrie Irving just six of 19 from the field in game one gets his first bucket to go and the Celtics turn it [Applause] over here at home Boston in the playoffs s- two again the only two losses were at home both in game twos in the first and second [Applause] round PJ Washington launches a three that’s good excellent start three for three for the Mavericks and that’s big right there Doris because because Dallas doesn’t take a lot of those above the break threes from guys like Jones and Washington to get one to go down early could be big Jaylen Brown has PJ Washington on him Brown another superb game in game one knocks it out of bounds and it’s going to be Corner threes but that’s not what the Celtics are willing to concede those above the break threes are but he also has to be Stout defensively doic another tough fallway shot can’t get that one to go fight for the rebound knock loose Tatum tips it to Brown Horford all alone and Horford will throw it down Jason Tatum with a terrific play to get it through a teammate as some great Celtics sha was a Celtic Paul Pierce A Champion with the Celtics as BJ Washington goes in right don’t let them just come down the middle go from right to left left to right keep it on the side right understand you got help behind you here’s the big thing finish plays our rotations have to be on point but guess what if they are not what do we have to do keep playing right it’s not going to be perfect tonight well they’ve off to an excellent start a five-point lead they’ve hit four their first six shots from the field Tatum donic tried to swipe it away holiday nice fake gets across the lane flips it up and in he just doesn’t a tremendous job playing within himself and reading and taking what the game gives [Applause] Irving hearing the booze he even said game one he thought they’d be a little bit louder than they were he turns it over that time ball knocked Loose by Gafford Irving comes away with it and a lead two you won game one of that finals as well you’re also up two to one in those finals so still much work to be done donic with five on the 24 flips it up with the one hand nice soft touch and gets it to go Luka donic already three for four from the field his numbers in the first quarter of games after they’ve lost in these playoffs have been exceptional kadum goes inside can’t get it the fall too strong off the [Applause] glass Irving the fake Irving the drive shot block by of course LED all guards in the NBA in blocks this season Irving finds some room nails a three-pointer Kyrie Irving he got a little uh gamesmanship perhaps yeah and I don’t think anyone on the Celtics thought that Jason kid was being serious I think they knew that he was playing mind games which kind of defeats the point of playing mind games white couldn’t grab the rebound doic rebound Jason Tatum had a great response he goes hey this is a team sport right this is not our first rodeo doic three-pointer that went off the mark good boxing out from Brown Mike I think a strength of both both Jason and Jaylen from the moment they’ve put on the Celtic jersey they have played with a maturity that’s bellied their years I expect them to hand handle this no question yeah they have seen it all they’ve had to answer it all as Tatum misses that PJ Washington the rebound Tatum now picking up donic doic had it stripped he thought he was foul Here Comes Derek white the other way back for brown brown inside the White shot blocked by Washington that’s a beautiful outlook on life lifelong learner mik fivepoint lead for Dallas do you not like the rule given that defensive play right there at the point was so good no I’m fine with the rule I’m fine with the rule Irving kicks it out in the corner an early entry for Maxi kba Derek Lively offensive rebound lost it trying to get it back throws it but right to brown jayen brown goes right past D and the slam that’s the way to avoid a Defender and Celtics within three and you love the hustle from Lively but he basically threw an outlet pass to Jaylen Brown porzingis in ca’s going to get another wide open look can’t hit CA banged up much of the playoffs returned late in the conference final Tatum ins doesn’t like it Jason Tatum doesn’t like it but a side out for Boston holidate to Tatum Irving on Tatum with eight to shoot sh period that is two shots to me porzingis who had that incredible first quarter on Thursday draws the foul shot in and out eyes and lows booed and cheered he says all of his experiences during the course of his career prepared him for that moment the other night Clea block by porzingis he’s ated again at three in game one green on Tatum Tatum trying to find some room step back jump shot Lively grabs it that’s going to be an interesting matchup because Josh in game one some of it in garbage time held Tatum to 0 for four he was super physical with him just something to keep an eye on how much does he get that matchup and doic draws the foul 20 game regular season at 20 the other night donic misses both and holiday gets the rebound but porzingis has always been one of the better shot blockers in the NBA when he’s been healthy jayen Brown back up top Hower launches a three doit throws it ahead and Hower does a good job getting back and able to deflect it turn over Celtic ball Brown goes at Lively fakes and he slid possessions like that they can make a big difference and Luca so effective at those long push ahead passes that’s been an effective weapon for them Falling Away shot is good Luka daic eight points here in the first knows his team needed a quick start after the poor start in game one brown up top Hower finds porzingis CA trying to be physical porzingis leans in shoots over him and scores it’s it’s seven
