The NBA Finals bring a different type of intensity between the two squads. This rendition of the matchup between the Jayson Tatum-led Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks is no different. Luka Doncic is in green territory for the first two games and he is experiencing every bit of it. Prior to Game 2, some fans got to see the superstar from Texas and had a moment with him. Seeing a player always leaves someone in awe but does not shake up their alliance at all.
A Celtics fan got a photo with Luka Doncic and was really loving the moment. That was until he snapped back into the reality of which team's jersey he was wearing. He then let out a big statement while other fans were having their memorabilia signed by the Mavericks star.
“Thank you. Still Celtics in 4 though… Zero points,” the young member of the Celtics faithful declared.
Mavericks star responds on the court
So far, Luka Doncic seems to be responding well against the Celtics fan in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Despite being guarded by Jayson Tatum on a majority of their possessions, he is blazing it up. At the moment of writing, the Mavericks star has clearly picked up his pace from Game 1 despite reports of being injured. He is leading all scorers by knocking down eight out of his 12 field goals for 20 points.
Moreover, his playmaking and dime-dropping chops have finally resurfaced. So far, he has two assists. The Mavericks have also stopped the Celtics' momentum due to his steal. To round out his performance, he has notched three rebounds. A big drawback to this heavy usage is his ball protection. The Celtics have put more intense defensive coverages on him which led to three turnovers. A lot of time is still on the game clock and Mavericks fans might be in for one of his biggest performances in this NBA Finals series.
Will he finally score a win over the Jayson Tatum-led squad?
