The key to Boston Celtics vs. Celtics The Dallas Mavericks
There is no doubt that throughout the season, Boston has been a much more complete and consistent team than Dallas. He won 14 more games in the Regular Phase, had a better attack and much better defense. In the cold comparison, the Celtics are heavy favorites.
However, there are paths for Dallas to make the crossing and the most direct of them has to do with the execution in hot moments of matches. Con Luka Doncic y Kyrie Irving making decisions in those closeouts, the Mavs are a phenomenal team in the final minutes of each game. They know who to give the ball to and those chosen ones decide.

The Boston thing is much more doubtful. Nobody questions the talent and level of Jayson Tatum y Jaylen Brown, but in those hot stretches, their execution is much less orderly and effective than that of the Mavs. They are players with worse handling, shooting and passing than the Dallas stars, and although in the general 48 minutes they make up for it with their enormous physical and athletic advantage, when the games get tight, they have more mistakes.
The numbers support this idea. In these Playoffs, the Dallas offense in the clutch -Final 5 minutes, game with a difference of 5 points or less- scores the 49% of his shots and 48% of his triples. Boston, on the other hand, reaches a 44% from the field and 39% from three. Solid, but below his rival.
The numbers were similar in the Regular Phase. In fact, the Mavs were the best offense clutch from the entire league, scoring 127 points every 100 possessions – no other team surpassed 124. In those stretches they shot 48% from the field and 37% on three-pointers, while the Celtics were at 45% and 35%, respectively.
If Dallas wants to compete and win this series, they will have to stay with close games. Boston has more capacity to break a game and dominate it by a wide margin, while the Mavs will have to recover that possible lost ground, precisely with their superior execution in decisive moments.
