00:00We begin with last night's game between Boston and Dallas with again Boston going to Dallas
00:08and pulling off the upset although a mild one the Mavericks two and a half point favorites
00:12going into the game and Boston took a huge lead early Dallas came back made it a game
00:18but in the end the final 106 to 99 as the Celtics are now one game away from the NBA
00:27championship now is a game with a lot of swings in the second half of the game but
00:31really one of the pivotal moments in it was in the fourth quarter Dallas trailing by 20
00:37coming back and then Luka fouling out of the game Luka Doncic with six fouls and less than
00:43five minutes to play and enduring a ton of national criticism last night and this morning
00:50for playing poorly on defense for getting himself tossed from this game because of fouling
00:56and so naturally they're up against it and on the verge of being swept in the NBA finals
01:01Jason Tatum last night at 31.6 rebounds and five assists Jalen Brown matched it with 30
01:08points eight assists and eight rebounds and Derek White had 16 5 and 4 in this game Kyrie
01:14Irving had 35 Luka 27 PJ Washington had 13 for the Mavericks but needless to say Jalen
01:21Brown who went from a six to one dog to being the favorite to win the finals MVP says it's
01:28good to be up three zip but he knows there's still at least one more to play I thought it
01:33was a great team win that that league dwindled fast I know we were up 20 and then they stormed
01:41back and that's what the beauty of basketball is you can never let up it's always time and
01:47they were able to cut the lead but in those moments those are the moments which you you
01:51have to just live for we've been in those moments a lot we just needed to be patient
01:58be poised I feel like we got some good looks the defensive intensity ramped up the officiating you
02:06know got a little bit tighter so at the end of the day you just got to make plays I thought we
02:10got some good looks down the line in the fourth some went in some didn't but we was able to make
02:15plays and find a way to win and we've been in those positions and we've we've lost so it was
02:22great to overcome that with my brother Jason and the rest of our team that was that was special
02:28it's awesome I mean I can't I don't even really have words it kind of doesn't even feel real
02:32right now and I'm just trying to stand a moment like you know it feels it feels great to be up
02:383-0 in this series way like the job's not done not done and again another game coming up with
02:44the Mavericks and Celtics no doubt without Chris Tapps Porzingis it would appear but for the time
02:49being the Mavericks are very slight favorites going into game four needless to say one of the
02:55key moments of the game was Luka Doncic being tossed and maybe that's a little bit extreme
03:00Luka Doncic was sent home essentially that's what happened when you get 6,000 NBA game you can't
03:06play anymore and that is rare for a superstar athlete needless to say his running mate Kyrie
03:11Irving said he certainly saw what happened questionable foul I guess to say the least
03:16but said that Luke is doing the best he can I mean I don't think I really had a choice you know it
03:23was unfortunate that the foul was called you know Luka picked up his fifth and sixth and I think in
03:28a matter of a three-minute span or a two-minute span so it's tough but we still had to figure out
03:33a way to win the basketball game we put our best foot forward especially being down 21 you know we
03:39easily could have packed up and folded but we didn't give up we kept playing and the guys that
03:44were out there we kept competing and felt like we gave ourselves a chance to win down the stretch
03:48they obviously made some big plays some big shots so you gotta give them credit but we got to play
03:53the way we played you know being down 21 the whole entire game playing with that pace playing with
03:58that that pride you know that's what's got us here today but when you're going to get some good
04:04juggernaut offensive team like Boston Celtics gonna make you pay for mistakes and you gotta
04:08give him credit you just gotta let it breathe a little bit let the human emotions come out and
04:13you know just give him a hug that's it man you know it's easy to point the finger at just him
04:20say you know you could be better and that's easy to say I think he knows that but yeah it's just
04:25reiterating that I got his back and we all have his back in you know it's a tough game and it was
04:29a it was a tough call we could have probably you know done a little bit some different on this
04:35fifth foul just to give us a little bit more of a grace period to set our defense and get him on a
04:40matchup but um you know hindsight's 20-20 but we just got to wash our hands with this and get ready
04:45for game four.
