Favored Celtics battle Doncic and the Mavs in NBA Finals

A Celtics team desperate for championship glory face Luka Doncic and a Dallas Mavericks squad eager to play spoiler.

The victory gave Boston a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, which will shift to Indianapolis for Game 3 on Saturday.

The Indiana Pacers came into Boston and pushed the Celtics to the brink on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Based on past performance, it’s unlikely that generating good offense will be a problem for either team.

Tyrese Maxey scored 46 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. hit a tiebreaking layup in overtime as the visiting Philadelphia 76ers avoided elimination.

Anthony Edwards scored 31 of his 40 points in the second half and the Minnesota Timberwolves completed a four-game sweep of the host Phoenix Suns.
