Tatum put on a stellar performance, scoring 31 points, dishing out 11 assists, and grabbing 8 rebounds. Brown added 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists, earning himself the Finals MVP honors. The Celtics’ defense was on point, holding the Mavericks stars, including Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving, in check throughout the game.
