you do best and Doris for Dallas can they bring that same toughness and tenacity that was so impressive the other night they’ll have to Mike defense travels and to me as a player when you throw yourself into the defense and the little details it can take a little pressure off you offensively Drew holiday’s first shot goes up and in lowest point total of the season for the Celtics at just 84 points and they shot just 36% from the field got has to run it down Brown starts on him donic had a massive first half and starts that one in and out that one halfway down both teams have necessarily the sixth foul but some of the earlier ones that were not great decisions one of the things I’m curious about Mike is what does a Celtics spacing look like tonight they talk all the time about fighting for it wow that’s some space from three that’s a that’s a long three you don’t see Jay Brown Take many of those white comes from behind and comes up with a steal Jason Tatum’s got Irving on him leans in bank shot missed it fight for the rebound the Lakers Brown comes off a screen can’t get it the four that was Championship number 17 looking to add to that tonight Irving hearing the booze his first shot of the night does not get the bounce he really struggled in the first two games and admitted that the crowd and the booze got to him a little bit Jaylen Brown stops scafford good defense Brown has to take a tough fourway shot and that’s what Daniel gaffard brings to the Mavericks he has been outstanding defensively for the Dallas Mavericks contesting a ton of shots keeping the Celtics to a low percentage or for on donic the step back three and they’ve missed their first three shots speaking of outstanding Al Horford on defense has been so good in this series against a multitude of offensive players including LCA donic holiday drives on daic after Poor defense in game three donic really played some excellent defense in game four holiday gets inside up and in and he’s got the first four points of the game Joe Missoula talked about the fact that Boston missed those windows those tight little windows on the pocket in game four Drew holiday already the recipient twice of a Jason Tatum pass in that short roll Gafford gets it down low Tatum and Horford surround him shot clock at four donic Derek Jones Jr can’t get it the fall Brown comes out of the pack against this Dallas Mavericks defense you have a split second to make those decisions donic throws it up oh beautiful pass and Jones throws it down Mavericks in these playoffs seven and4 on the road they’ve had huge wins games two and five against the Clippers games two and five against OKC and won three games in Minnesota in the Conference Finals Tatum launches a three and that one way off goes out of bounds and the Mavs get it back well this is something that’s been a strength of the Mavericks not necessarily in games one and two but off that pick and roll Jaylen gets hung up it gets just the angle Luke need you come off the body of that second guy and he’s at the cup Derek Jones an elite athlete Dona just connected with the Jones to gaffords the livel Kyrie Irving gets inside lost the handle white leads ahead to Holiday goes inside layup is good he’s got all six [Applause] points the Celtics are playing ferocious defense to start D trying to draw a foul Horford The Rebound in traffic Horford wins the tip white to Brown passed up on a three slips a bit now gets into the paint good close there by Jones Brown stripped from behind nice help defense after he got pass PJ Washington DOD it’s the fake over the shoulder Jones wide open can’t hit gafford’s tip won’t go they’re one of eight to start Horford wide open from it Al Horford saying hey we’re still up 3-1 we went down to Dallas and we got one of two chucked me in the shoulder I don’t appreciate [Music] that Tatum now picks up donic daic has missed his first three shots or one of his many after game four it’s over forget about it next [Applause] game that was his first field goal holiday gets the pass kicks it out in the corner Dar sometimes just a player that tall with his skill set can just be a presence out on the court certainly an inspiration to the Celtic crowd here that’s what happened when he came out game one after missing so many games and he exploded diye Irving rattles in and out tipped nicely by Tatum and the Mavericks now two for 11 Brown goes right at Josh Green running layup is good there’s doic chased by holiday porzingis [Applause] lurking donic back up top Josh green nails a three green who’s had such a nice impact throughout these playoffs it’s an early call here in this one you can see though when Derek Jones Jr or Josh Green catches it they’re going to give him a cushion and prove they got to make that shot probably more than once well they were 0 for six from three to start that’s their first holiday spins gets inside missed the layup ball batted and come up by green green and Lively again Off the Bench both of them had excellent impacts in game four Jason kid talking about some of the support supporting casts bringing that energy NAIC fine the back Green’s going to try again Josh Green two for two from downtown and you see what Dallas is doing as soon as Kristof porzingis came in the game they are absolutely hunting him and involving him in every action he only hit two three-pointers in the first four games he already has two here in the first quarter of game five Tatum gets inside blocked by exceptional ball batted around white catches
