Post-Game Analysis

The Celtics' win was a dominant performance from start to finish. They were able to control the tempo of the game and never allowed the Mavericks to get into a rhythm. Tatum was once again the catalyst for the Celtics, as he continues to play at an MVP level. The Mavericks, on the other hand, were never really in the game. Doncic was not able to get going offensively, and the rest of the team was not able to pick up the slack. The Mavericks will need to find a way to get more consistent if they want to contend for a championship this season.

Overall, the Celtics' win was a statement game. They are the best team in the Eastern Conference and they are not going to be easy to beat. The Mavericks, on the other hand, have some work to do if they want to be considered a contender.

The Celtics will be back in action on Friday night when they host the Miami Heat. The Mavericks will be back in action on Saturday night when they host the New Orleans Pelicans.
