• “Mavericks” did not stop and continued to humiliate the guests. During the third quarter, in which Irving scored 10 points, the “Mavs” were even leading by +38. Before the final 12 minutes, the Celts were leading 60:92.
• In the final quarter, “Mavericks” led by as many as 48 points. It was the largest NBA Finals lead by any team in 50 years.
