The Celtics excelled in all departments to seal the title.

The Boston Celtics’ long journey to the NBA title was marked by adversity, heartbreak and numerous playoff failures over the past seven seasons. However, they channeled all those experiences into strength and determination, which was evident in their exceptional performance in the finals.

Jaylen Brown, in particular, epitomized the resilience and excellence of the Celtics, as he not only emerged as the NBA Finals MVP, but also demonstrated his all-around skills by scoring 21 points, grabbing eight rebounds, distributing six assists and making two steals in Game 5 against the Mavericks.

Furthermore, the Celtics’ dominance in crucial moments and essential statistics proved equally essential to their victory in the finals. His remarkable ability to close out the first and second quarters with decisive runs ultimately played a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the game against the Mavericks.

The Celtics outscored the Mavs 9-0 in the final 1:55 of the first quarter and finished the second quarter on a 19-7 run, including a half-court shot at the buzzer, extending their lead to 21 points.

Additionally, their strong rebounding ability was on display, with all five starters contributing significantly to their 51-35 rebounding advantage over the Mavericks.
