The Boston Celtics continued their impressive run of form with a resounding 124-95 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. The win extends Boston's winning streak to four games and improves their record to 27-12 on the season. The Mavericks, meanwhile, fall to 22-17 with the loss, their third straight. Jayson Tatum led the way for the Celtics with 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. Jaylen Brown added 25 points and 6 rebounds, while Marcus Smart chipped in with 18 points and 7 assists. For the Mavericks, Luka Doncic had a team-high 22 points, but he was held to just 9-of-25 shooting from the field. Spencer Dinwiddie added 19 points and Kristaps Porzingis finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds. The Celtics took control of the game from the outset, building a 13-point lead after the first quarter. They continued to pile it on in the second quarter, extending their advantage to 20 points by halftime. The Mavericks never really threatened in the second half, as the Celtics continued to pour it on. Boston's defense was stifling, holding Dallas to just 36% shooting from the field. The Celtics' victory is a statement win for a team that has been playing with great confidence of late. They have now won four straight games by an average margin of victory of 22.5 points. The Mavericks, on the other hand, are in need of some soul-searching following their third straight loss. They have now fallen to 5-7 in their last 12 games and will need to find a way to turn things around quickly if they want to remain in the playoff hunt.
