The Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks meet in a must-watch Game 5 tonight. Here's how to stream the NBA Finals.
The 2024 NBA Finals did not end in a sweep as Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks head back to Boston for a decisive Game 5 against the Celtics tonight. While the Celtics still hold a commanding 3-1 lead, the Mavericks made a very convincing argument in Game 4 to not count them out of the playoffs. Tip-off from TD Garden is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.
Dallas extended their season on Friday night with a 122-84 win in Game 4, which was the third-biggest point margin in a NBA Finals game ever. The Mavericks will need to keep playing this way in order to fend off elimination. If the Celtics win tonight, not only will Boston get to raise Banner 18, but they'll also break a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most championships in league history.
