The Houston Rockets defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, Victor Wembanyama completed a “priceless” week in Paris with a loss, and the NBA champion Boston Celtics demolished the Dallas Mavericks in a Finals rematch on Saturday.
The Celtics recovered from a humiliating 21-point loss to the Los Angeles Lakers thanks to 24 points from Jayson Tatum, 23 from Derrick White, and 22 from Jaylen Brown.
The Celtics, who fell behind by ten points in the first quarter, relentlessly pressed their will on a Mavericks club that was still without injured star Luka Doncic. All five of their starters scored in double figures.
The Mavs have struggled since Doncic suffered a calf injury on Christmas Day and lost center Dereck Lively II to a broken ankle this week.
