The recent trend in Kyrie Irving’s matchups against the Boston Celtics is noteworthy: his team has lost in all of the last 12 games. Irving and the Dallas Mavericks are eager to change this narrative as they prepare to face the Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, with Boston currently leading the series 2-0.
Irving openly acknowledges his subpar performance in the first two finals games, particularly in Boston, where he faced hostility from the fans. Despite this, Irving expresses his determination to step up and support his teammates, emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus and not letting frustration affect his game.
As Game 3 approaches, Dallas holds a 2.5-point advantage according to BetMGM Sportsbook, a rare instance where Boston is considered the underdog this season. The Celtics have been underdogs only three times in their first 98 games of the season.
In a different sporting realm, Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk reveals his support for the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, citing his connection with Jayson Tatum from their time together in St. Louis. Tatum, in turn, is backing the Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final.
Meanwhile, the Celtics are on the verge of breaking the NBA’s full-season record for 3-pointers made, with only 15 shots separating them from surpassing last season’s mark of 1,596.
