The Boston Celtics are a force to be reckoned with in the NBA, renowned for their exceptional perimeter-scoring abilities. Under the guidance of Coach Joe Mazzulla, the team focuses on taking a plethora of shots from beyond the arc, and they have eight players capable of scoring from deep, with seven of them being elite scorers across all levels of the court.
In their first NBA Finals game against the Dallas Mavericks, it was evident that the Celtics’ spacing and 3-point shooting posed a significant challenge for the Mavericks’ defense. Luka Doncic, who is an MVP candidate and a key player for the Mavericks, acknowledged that Boston’s spacing and 3-point shooting were difficult to defend against. He admitted that his team needed to improve their defense on the perimeter and excel at their own 3-point attempts. Doncic recognized that Boston’s ability to have all five players on the court as threats from beyond the arc made them a formidable offensive opponent.
Coach Mazzulla has developed an impressive offense for the Celtics, which centers around finding open shots and utilizing various scoring methods. With multiple shooters spacing out on the floor, Boston becomes an extremely challenging team to defend against. The Mavericks will need to make adjustments before Game 2; however, containing the Celtics’ offense over seven games will be no easy feat.
If Doncic and his team cannot find a way to stop Boston, we may see them celebrating with a championship banner at TD Garden later this summer. To stay updated on all things related to
