Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown Lead Historic Game 5 Victory, Securing Franchise's 18th NBA Championship


Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown Lead Historic Game 5 Victory, Securing Franchise's 18th NBA Championship


The Boston Celtics took home the trophy of the NBA champions after, for the 18th time and the first time in 16 years, they triumphed over the Dallas Mavericks in Game Five of the 2024 NBA Finals which was played on Monday night with a score of 106-88.

 

The teams started with equal points but the Celtics began the race towards the final buzzer by leading 9-0 in the first quarter ending the period with a ten point advantage. By the end of the first half the team had extended their lead to an insurmountable 21 points. The Mavericks did try to bring the margin down to single digits in the second half, but they could not manage to do it. Thus, the successful and bright-souled Celtics joined the list of recognized teams in the history of basketball again.

 

The Boston Celtics had the best record in the NBA into the regular season and easily advanced through. In playoffs, they fought tough and successfully securing 15 out of first 17, and they never trailed in a series. The Mavericks on survived Friday 122-84 defeat that has been the third largest blowout in the finals history after the Warriors had started by leading 3-0 over Dallas.

 

This win took the series to Boston where the Celtics were too good, overpowering our team. The Boston Celtics now have the most NBA titles with 18 and thus they surpassed the record that was held by Los Angeles Lakers who currently sit on 17.

 

Jayson Tatum scored 31 points, made 11 assists, and grabbed 8 rebounds to enable Boston Celtics win the title they have been seeking for the 18th time on Monday as they thrashed the Dallas Mavericks 106-88. It also freed them from the record that was a tie for the most NBA championships held with the Los Angeles Lakers.

 

This most recent win was achieved by Boston on the sixteenth year of the NBA finals of the 2008 season. This victory makes one or the other of the four big league Boston professional sports franchises to have won 13 championships this century and brought more success to the city’s sports heritage.

 

Jaylen Brown who submitted an excellent performance to score 21 points was also awarded the NBA Finals MVP. By the end of the game Jrue Holiday had 15 points, and 11 rebound. Center Kristaps Porzingis had not been in action for two games due to his dislocated tendon in his left ankle but he came in to replace his and contributed five points in his seventeen minutes’ playing.

 

Luka Doncic  with 28 points and 12 boards, nevertheless, the Mavericks could not progress in the series once they won the Knicks 38 to no point in Game 4. This was their third Game 5 in the playoffs this season where they triumphed, all prior to this failure when Doncic scored at least 31 points.

 

Kyrie Irving played terribly in the match as he only managed to score 15 points on 5-16 shooting. He has faced misfortune against Boston Celtics, as he lost the game, which means he has won only one out of the past 14 games against the franchise since he left the team in 2019 to join the Brooklyn Nets.

 

This championship is a pinnacle of career for Al Horford, a forward who has had a chance to play 17 seasons and 186 playoff games without a title under his belt. Horford though is a loyal player for the Celtics had the second most number of games played without winning any title as Karl Malone did.

 

For Jrue Holiday, the title is his second title and his second win in four years. He was traded to the Celtics ahead of the start of the season after the Bucks traded him in a deal to get Damian Lillard. Holiday further showcased his versatility in the Finals and particularly in what was the decisive Game 5 by scoring 15 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and contributing four assists.

 

Holiday has been extremely busy and managed to keep Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, two outstanding Dallas’ players, score only 14 points in the first half of the game on Monday. While Doncic finished as the top-scorer for the Mavs with 28 points, he could not clinch an NBA championship for the team, even if they did reach the finals courtesy of a fifth-seed finish for the first time in thirteen years.

 

This completes the Celtics two-year struggle that is crowned with a championship. The following season they thought about a return to the NBA finals but their hopes were demolished as they were eliminated in game seven of the conference finals at home by the Miami Heat. They were then eliminated by the Golden State Warriors during the 2022 NBA finals.
