If history can tell us anything, the Boston Celtics will end this postseason by hanging Banner 18 now that they have a 3-0 series lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals. But what history does NOT tell us is whether the clinching win will come at American Airlines Arena or TD Garden, or which game of the series will be the last.
But given the way the Celtics played in Game 3 of the finals, taking what looked to be Dallas’ best, hardest punch on the chin only to dust themselves off and grind out a win, we expect it to be in Game 4.
On the off chance Luka Doncic and Co. dig deep to find another gear, we could see the series end in Boston, but we have a hunch the Celtics want this ring NOW.
