Should the Celtics wrap up with another win, the action will then shift to Dallas where Doncic and Kyrie Irving will hope to use home court advantage in Games 3 and 4 to even the series. At this stage, Boston are firm favorite even if they hit the road for the next couple of games.
Their well-rounded unit has been too much for the Mavs, who have been left lacking on either end at different intervals of the game. As for the stars turning up to cheer for Boston, they are in for an exciting end to the contest.
