Boston Celtics celebrate their 18th NBA title after beating the Dallas Mavericks in the finals [Video]

The Boston Celtics, on a solid night in an exploited TD Garden, beat the Dallas Mavericks 106-88, closing the Finals 4-1 and adding a new ring in the NBA.

The 18th conquest of the Celtics makes them the most winners, leaving behind the Los Angeles Lakers and ending a title drought that lasted since 2008.

This title is added to those that those in green won in 1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986 and 2008.

The Mavericks lost the second Finals in their history and were unable to get their hands on the ring again after the 2011 title, the only one in their history.

First in the East with the best record in the NBA (64-18), Joe Mazzulla’s men crushed all their conference rivals and also gave the very deserving Mavericks of a Luka Doncic with a tremendously damaged physique no chance in the Finals.

The ring also represents the long-awaited redemption of the “Jays”, who had reached the Eastern final five times and the Finals once – not counting this one – always staying on the verge of glory, especially in those painful Finals lost to the Golden State Warriors in 2022.

They will never again have to listen to criticism that they were not prepared to shine in the most important moments.

Along with Tatum and Brown, the Celtics have enjoyed the most complete and overwhelming quintet of the season.

Kristaps Porzingis – who returned this Monday after missing two games due to injury – and Jrue Holiday were two luxury signings and a multipurpose Derrick White rounded out that already unforgettable heroic quintet.

From the bench, the first to come out was always another of the great protagonists of this tremendous evening: the Dominican Al Horford, who at 38 years old and after 17 seasons finally touched the sky of the NBA.

Jaylen Brown NBA Finals MVP

Jaylen Brown was chosen this Monday as MVP (Most Valuable Player) of the NBA Finals won by the Boston Celtics against the Dallas Mavericks (4-1).

“It was a team effort, I share it with my brothers, with Jayson Tatum who was with me the entire way,” said an emotional Brown in the fieldside interview during the Celtics celebrations.

A lover of chess as well, Brown was chosen in the 3rd position in the draft by the Celtics in 2016. A year later, Jayson Tatum was also chosen in the same position by Boston.

Three-time All-Star, Brown signed the largest contract in NBA history ($304 million for five seasons) in 2023 and, after many years of enduring criticism and certain misgivings in the league, this Monday he finally vindicated himself. the big thing with the MVP of the Finals.
