Rick Carlisle’s charges looked great in the last match. Luka Doncic felt no longer lonely, as his partners actively helped him. Tim Hardway, Trey Burke and Seth Curry all played great. Their 48 points greatly helped Dallas to celebrate the victory. Moreover, Kristaps Porzingis played well, having scored 23 points and making seven rebounds in 36 minutes on the floor. It is worth noting the excellent implementation of throws from outside the arc. Mavs got 44% of them. Almost every second shot hit the target. The Clippers had a much worse figure.
The Celts are following their plan and they are doing great. The team competently approaches each confrontation and skillfully uses its strengths. It is noticeable that Brad Stevens perfectly prepared his players for the playoffs and the result is two victories in a row. One gets the impression that Philadelphia did not expect such an aggressive start from the opponent. Boston skillfully defended and acted well in attack, so everything is on point. Before the third match, Celtics have a serious advantage, so now the main thing is not to let loose and not relax, because this happens very often, especially when victories are easy.
