The last 12 games where Kyrie Irving has played against the Boston Celtics have all ended with the same outcome.
His team lost.
It’s a streak that Irving and the Dallas Mavericks would desperately like to see end Wednesday night, when they play host to the Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Boston leads the series 2-0.
“First thing of that is just accepting that I haven’t played well or up to my standards, as well as I would have liked,” Irving said. “Being back in Boston, there’s such a level of desire that I have inside of me to play well. Wanted to be there for my teammates. As a competitor, it’s frustrating. But I don’t want to let that seep in or spill over to any other decisions I have to make there as a player.”
Irving shot only 35% in the first two games of these finals in Boston, averaging 14 points and four assists in his former home arena — where fans make clear that they don’t like him much. He’s shot 50% or less in each of his last 10 games against the Celtics.
“I just can feel the stakes being raised up a little bit more,” Irving said. “The pressure is natural. Makes diamonds. ... We just have to continue to lean in on each other, especially when it gets tough out there. We’re going against a great team. They’re not going to stop pressing us, stop their pace, stop testing us on both ends of the floor. We know what we’re in for. But now we have to raise it to an even higher level, and it starts with me.”
The odds
Dallas is a 2.5-point favorite in Game 3, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, and unless the line changes significantly it’ll mark a rare instance of Boston being an underdog this season.
Wednesday will be the Celtics’ 99th game of the year. They’ve been underdogs only three times in the first 98 — at Sacramento on Dec. 20 ( a 144-119 Boston win ), at Milwaukee on Jan. 11 ( a 135-102 Bucks win ) and at Milwaukee again on April 9 ( a 104-91 Bucks victory ).
Tatum watching
Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk said he’s rooting for the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals for an obvious reason — he went to school in St. Louis with Jayson Tatum.
And, as one might guess, Tatum is rooting for the Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final.
“I actually watched him win last night,” Tatum said Tuesday, referring to Florida’s 4-1 win over Edmonton that gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead in that title series. “Trying to learn and understand the rules in the game of hockey more and more. I got to watch the game last night. They won. Like I said, I’m extremely happy for him and his family. Hopefully they win it all.”
Closing in
Boston enters Game 3 of the NBA Finals with 1,582 makes from 3-point range this season, including playoffs.
That means the Celtics are 15 3s away from breaking the NBA’s full-season record. Boston connected on 1,596 shots from deep last season to set the mark.
Dallas is coming off a 105-98 loss in Game 2 on Sunday despite Luka Doncic finishing with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Meanwhile, Boston announced that center Kristaps Porzingis had suffered a "rare injury" and listed the former All-Star as questionable for Game 3. It's unlikely that the Mavs will let the Celtics waltz their way to the Larry O’Brien Trophy, so tonight's game should be an interesting one.
A triple-double from Luka Dončić wasn't enough to prevent the Boston Celtics from beating the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 on Sunday to take a two-game lead in the NBA Finals. Jrue Holiday led the Celtics with 26 points and 11 rebounds while remaining stout defensively, limiting Kyrie Irving to 16 points with help from Derrick White and Jaylen Brown. Boston won 105-98.
Dončić will need more help from Irving and the team's role players if the Mavericks are to get into the win column and make this a series. The Mavs will be on their home court for the next two games, but Boston has yet to lose on the road during the playoffs.
The Dallas Mavericks are set to take on the Boston Celtics in a crucial Game 3 of the NBA Finals on June 12, 2024, at 8:30 PM ET, at Mavericks' home ground.
The Boston Celtics are ahead 2-0 in the NBA Finals series going into Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks. The Celtics beat the Mavericks 105–98 in their most recent game on June 10. Jrue Holiday scored 26 points to lead the team. At the same time, Mavericks star Luka Doncic was leading the team with 32 points.
The Celtics have an undeniable lead heading into Game 3. The Boston team won the first two games, which were played at TD Garden. The gap between Celtics and Mavs scores was slightly smaller by the second game, so there's no telling if Game 3 will see the Dallas team finally pull off a win or if this is shaping up to be another Celtics sweep.
Games 3 and 4 will be held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, giving the Mavericks a homecourt advantage for the next week. The Celtics last won the NBA Finals in 2008, and the Mavericks pulled off a Finals win in 2011, so both teams are vying for their first Championship win in over a decade.
