VIDEO⟩ Bertāns plays only in the first half; The Mavericks celebrate victory – Basketball

The Mavericks defeated the Boston Celtics with a score of 95:92 (18:20, 20:27, 38:26, 19:19), stopping their opponents in a series of five victories.

Bertan was only on the pitch in the first half, playing six minutes and one second. Rūjienis made one of three long shots, won three rebounds and intercepted one ball. The Mavericks threw five points more than Bertan in the square.

Lukas Dončič stood out for the Dallas with 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, 19 points for Dorian Finn-Smith and 18 points for Spencer Dinvidius. Max Kleck scored 14 rebounds.

The Bostoners scored 21 points and 11 balls under the baskets were won by Jason Tateham, 17 points by Els Horford, 15 by Marcus Smart and 14 by Jane Brown.

The victory basket was won by Dinvidijs, who took a long shot less than 12 seconds before the final whistle and reached 95:92. In the response attack, Dončič was initially found to have violated Smart’s throw-in, but at the request of the Mavericks coach, the note was canceled and the home team was unable to take three free throws 4.9 seconds before the end of regular time.

The Mavericks are in the fifth Western Conference with 42 wins in 68 games, while the Celtics are in the same position in the East with 41 successes in 69 battles.

The Mavericks will land in New York on Wednesday, where they will meet with the Brooklyn Nets.
