As the Boston Celtics get close to winning their first NBA Finals since 2008, Game 5 is set to be played at the TD Garden arena in Boston. Boston leads the Dallas Mavericks 3-1 and just needs one more game to land the 2024 championship.
Mathematically, Dallas could win the next two games and tie with Boston. Then the series would move to Dallas for a final game. The 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team in NBA history to have come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals to win the championship. They won three straight games to stun the Golden State Warriors.
The questions: Will Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic get it going for the Dallas Mavericks so they can deliver a stellar evening, like in game 4, and pull off game 6 on Monday? Or will Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and Dominican Al Horford have it going for the Boston Celtics? Will Kristaps Porzingis be able to return to play and ensure all the balls go into the Celtics’ basket. Will Al Horford finally get his championship ring after 17 seasons in his career in NBA basketball?
Meanwhile, Game 5 is set for 8:30pm Eastern Time.
