In the latest episode of No Cap Room, Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Jake Fischer is reporting live from TD Garden after witnessing the Boston Celtics win their 18th NBA championship by defeating the Dallas Mavericks in 5 games. The guys begin by discussing Jayson Tatum’s outstanding performance in the Finals, where he led the Celtics in every major offensive category and showcased his passing skills.
Next, they shift their focus to Kyrie Irving, noting that he appeared to struggle in Boston but played much better in Dallas. Luka Doncic’s lackluster performance, especially on defense, disappoints Jake as he had expected more from the star player. Jaylen Brown was named Finals MVP, and the guys explore why he won over Tatum and Jrue Holiday, emphasizing his ability to step up when the team needed him most. They also discuss Brown’s growth and compare him to other players selected ahead of him in the draft.
The conversation then moves to the offseason decisions facing both the Celtics and Mavericks as they strategize on how to return to the NBA Finals next season. To watch the full episode, visit YouTube, and to explore more Yahoo Sports podcasts, visit
